(D)Increasing potential output necessarily increases the economic welfare of the average citizen. (E)Long-run economic growth is only possible with demand management policies. Which of the following would most likely stimulate economic growth?

(D)The Phillips curve becomes flatter. (E)Business cycles no longer exist. An advance in technology will cause the (A)aggregate demand curve to shift to the right (B)aggregate demand curve to shift to the left (C)short-run aggregate supply curve to shift to the left (D)long-run aggregate supply curve to shift to the left (E)long-run aggregate supply curve to shift to the right If AD and AS represent aggregate demand and aggregate supply curves, respectively, and the arrows indicate the movement of the curves, which of the following graphs best illustrates long-run economic growth?
