O Levels Economics (2281)•2281/12/M/J/24

Explanation
Macroeconomics focuses on economy-wide aggregates, not specific sectors
Steps:
- Recall macroeconomics studies overall economic performance, like GDP, inflation, and unemployment.
- Identify options measuring national aggregates: A tracks total output growth; B measures price changes across the economy; C assesses labor market broadly.
- Spot D as industry-specific output, which falls under microeconomics.
- Confirm D lacks economy-wide scope, making it non-macro.
Why D is correct:
- Macroeconomics analyzes aggregate variables like national GDP; D measures output of one industry, a microeconomic focus on firm/sector level per economic definitions.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: GDP growth is a core macroeconomic indicator of total economic expansion.
- B: CPI inflation reflects economy-wide price levels, a key macro stability measure.
- C: Unemployment rate gauges overall labor market health, central to macro policy.
Final answer: D
