Hello there!
Your question asks what comes after the period of recession in the business cycle.
Answer: D). Recovery
The reason why answer choice "D). Recovery" is correct because this comes after the period of recession in the business cycle.
Recession is like a "slow down" in the activity of a business. Which means that they aren't receiving any income, GDP, investments, and etc. This would cause a business to decrease while a lot of expenses that the business is getting are increasing. By expensive, I mean the cost to keep the business running and things of that sort.
Businesses go through a time of recession; therefore, they need to "recover" from that. And that's why recovery is the next stage. A business must recover from the "recession" period if they want to keep the business up and running. If the business doesn't recover, then the business will fail.
Once the business can recover from the recession period, then the business can succeed in their plans and execute them, while seeing the profits that they expected to make.
I hope this helps!
Best regards, MasterInvestor
