B. decrease in the quantity of real output demanded (or movement up along AD)
C. increase in the quantity of real output demanded (or movement down along AD)

Respuesta :

Answer:

increase (or shift right) in aggregate demand now

Explanation:

due to speculative reasons, when individuals and firms expect higher prices in the near future, they will purchase more goods now, shifting the demand curve to the right. This shift is only temporary since the increase in the demand of goods was the result of not wanting to pay higher prices in the future.
