Detailed explanation-1: -B. The money supply shifts right, the interest rate falls, investment increases, and aggregate demand shifts right.

Detailed explanation-2: -Monetary policy attempts to increase aggregate demand during recession by increasing the growth of the money supply. The theory of liquidity preference suggests that increasing the money supply will cause interest rates to fall. Lower interest rates cause higher investment spending which increases aggregate demand.

The lower interest rate will cause more borrowing, which will in turn increase the aggregate demand, leading to a rightward shift in the aggregate demand curve.
