      Which of the following sequences best represents these

      business cycle phases in order?
      A Expansion → Peak → Trough → Contraction Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Contraction → Trough → Expansion → Peak Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Trough → Peak → Expansion → Contraction Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Peak → Expansion → Trough→ Contraction Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Contraction → Expansion → Trough→ Peak Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The business cycle is the recurring but irregular up-and-down movement of an economy's gross domestic product. The correct chronological order of the four phases is: Expansion (growth), Peak (high point), Contraction (recession), and Trough (low point). Therefore, starting from a contraction, the order is Contraction, Trough, Expansion, Peak.
