multiple choice
what is a recession?
this question is worth 10 point(s)
when unemployment is at its lowest
when the economy shrinks for at least six months
when the economy grows rapidly
when inflation is at 0%

Explanation:

A recession is a period of significant economic decline, commonly defined by a contraction (shrinkage) of the gross domestic product (GDP) for two consecutive quarters, which equals at least six months. The other options describe opposite or unrelated economic conditions: low unemployment and rapid growth are signs of a strong economy, and 0% inflation is not a defining trait of a recession.

Answer:

B. When the economy shrinks for at least six months
