Expert Solution

As it can be seen in the diagram that initial equilibrium interest rate is determined by the equality of demand and supply curve of the loanable fund.

But when there is an economic expansion in the economy caused an increase in the demand for loanable funds, the demand curve of the loanable fund shifts rightward from D to D1, as a result equilibrium interest rate increases from i1 to i2 and equilibrium quantity of loanable fund increases from Q to Q1.

It means Interest rates and the quantity of funds loaned would increase.

Hence option third is the correct answer.
