Answer: Option D. -> (ii), (iii) & (iv) only
Answer: (d)
When the economy slows down or is in recession (due to reduced demand) then production in the economy decreases and employers lay off workers which cause cyclical unemployment.
It is a case of reduced demand, so it generally leads to deflation.

And government can also increase the demand in the economy by expansionary fiscal policy i.e. increase in government expenditure or reduction in taxes.
Through both these policies, more money reaches the people and demand in the economy increases.
So, (iii) & (iv) statements are also true.
