Is this supposed to be a multiple choice question? It is way fun to think about projects other people might be up to which carry outrageously high risk!
Restaurants are a common example -- there's a little bit of magic in whether a new restaurant will catch on and become popular.
Farming is pretty risky. You can do everything right and have a hail storm come and ruin the crops. That's why there are government programs and commodity markets that help farmers mitigate their risk -- because the rest of us who need to eat really need for people to be willing to farm!

This is usually attributed to high levels of private sector debts and as a result, there is general economic decline or slow growth.
Answer:
Keynesian economists might propose that government <em>reduces </em>taxes, which will cause the aggregate demand curve to shift to the <em>right </em>and Real GDP will <em>increases</em>.
Explanation:
Keynesian economics is demand-sided.
If the economy is producing at full capacity, increased demand will only cause inflation as goods and services cannot be increased although people are willing to pay more (real GDP the same)
However, if the economy is below capacity, the problem is that there is not enough demand to drive production (additional goods and services produced will not be bought). Keynesians would advocate reducing taxes to stimulate demand.
When taxes are reduced, goods become cheaper. People are willing to buy more at similar prices (that producers charge), causing the aggregate demand curve to shift to the <em>right. </em>As economy is below capacity, suppliers are able to responded by supplying more goods and services (supplier curve shift to the right) and Real output (GDP) would increase.
