The table below gives (hypothetical) data for the price level, GDP, and unemployment rate for the past 4 years. Assume the change given below is the only change during the year. Use the prior year's values as the starting point.

In early-January 2020, the Trump Administration ended Net Neutrality. Because the Internet is an integral part of the U.S. economy, many economists believe that by removing the government regulations of Net Neutrality, U.S. production of goods and services will increase. Consequently, during 2020, then which of the answer choices gives the most likely values for the price level (X) and unemployment rate (Y)? X: 205 and Y: 4% X: 203 and Y: 7% X: 197 and Y: 3% X: 195 and Y: 8%
