In US for example, consumption demand comprises 65% to 68% of total GDP, leading consumption to experience maximum fluctuation.

(4) True

This is known as the Neutrality of money (or Classical Dichotomy).

A fall in short run aggregate supply leads to higher price level and lower output. A rise in money supply increases aggregate demand, shifting AD curve rightward so that in intersects the short run aggregate supply curve at original output level but at a still higher price level.
