Correct Option: D

The Gross National Product (GNP) in an open economy is calculated using the following formula:

  • GNP = C + I + G + (X - M)

Where:

  • C = Consumption
  • I = Investment
  • G = Government Spending
  • X = Exports
  • M = Imports
  • (X - M) = Net Exports (exports minus imports).

Option D, C+I+G+(X-M), accurately reflects this formula, thus providing the correct method for measuring GNP in an open economy.
