B) Only 2

Correct Answer: C
Solution :
[c] A closed economy is self-sufficient; meaning that no imports are brought in and no exports are sent out. The goal is to provide consumers with everything that they need from within the economy's borders. A closed economy is the opposite of an open economy, in which a country will conduct trade with outside regions. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is calculated either by measuring all income earned within a country, or by measuring all expenditures within the country, which should approximately be the same. Gross National Product (GNP) uses GDP, but adds income from foreign sources, less income paid to foreign citizens and entities.
