Option

a. Devaluation of the domestic currency

====

the devaluation of the domestic currency increases net exports as the prices are lower for foreign buyers.

It increases the aggregate demand and shifts the demand to the right to the full employment level.

===

An increase in interest rate decreases investment so the aggregate demand decreases which shifts the AD to the left which increases the recessionary gap in the economy.
