Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
To close an expansionary gap using an active approach, the goal is to decrease aggregate demand to reduce inflationary pressures. This is achieved by shifting the aggregate demand curve leftward, not by moving along the supply curve or shifting the supply curve itself.
