Never heard of this but....the law says that : In the short run, the unemployment rate decreases about 1 percentage point for every 3 percent increase in real GDP

 

So....it seems that if the unemployment rate decreases by 4 %.....then the GDP should rise by 4(3%) = 12%

 

So....I suppose  that "C"  comes closest
