Option

B) the purchase of a special fabric adhesive by a furniture company in California

The fabric is used as intermediate good and if it is added to the GDP then it is double counting which overstates the GDP.

GDP is a sum of final goods and services produced in a country within a year.

Buying a new car or buying asparagus for dinner is added to the GDP as these are final goods.

hiring a babysitter and paying him or her under the table is not counted for GDP but it should be so it understates the GDP
