c. a reduction in transfer payments- a reduction in transfer payments would not have any effect on the change in level of real gdp demand; however, the recipients of suchtransfer payments, by increasing personal consumption due to the receipt of transfer payments, results in an increase in the level of real gdp demand.

Decrease in government purchase is a reduction in government spending which is not an expansionary  fiscal policy. Since it will reduce money supply, it will have a negative effect on real GDP.

b.An increase in net taxes

Increase in net tax reduces disposable income and purchasing power, this will decrease aggregate demand and reduce consumption and real GDP.

c.A reduction in transfer payments

Reduction in transfer payments will reduce purchasing power and by implication consumption and aggregate demand, this will decrease real GDP

d.A decrease in the marginal propensity to consume

Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is that portion of increase in income consumers are ready to spend on goods and services. A decrease in marginal propensity to consume is a reduction in aggregate consumption by implication real GDP.
