National Income is otherwise called
- A.
  
  Real Income
- B.
  
  Money Income
- C.
  
  Nominal Income
- D.
  
  Gross National Product
Correct Answer
D. Gross National Product

Explanation
Gross National Product (GNP) is the correct answer because it is a measure of the total value of all final goods and services produced by the residents of a country in a given period of time, regardless of where the production takes place. It includes both the domestic production and the income earned from abroad. GNP is an important indicator of a country's economic performance and is used to compare the economic output of different countries. Real Income, Money Income, and Nominal Income are not synonymous with National Income and do not capture the same breadth of economic activity.

  GNP (-) Depreciation
- B.
  
  Net domestic product (-) Depreciation
- C.
  
  Per capita Income (-) Depreciation
- D.
  
  Gross domestic product (-) Depreciation
Correct Answer
A. GNP (-) Depreciation

Explanation
The correct answer is GNP (-) Depreciation. GNP stands for Gross National Product, which is the total value of goods and services produced by the residents of a country, including income earned abroad. Depreciation refers to the decrease in value of capital goods over time. By subtracting depreciation from GNP, we get the Net National Product, which represents the net income generated by a country's residents after accounting for the wear and tear on capital goods. Therefore, GNP (-) Depreciation is the most accurate measure of a country's true economic output.
