Explanation:

Identify Reagan's core economic policy

Reaganomics, or supply-side economics, focused heavily on reducing government regulation, controlling the money supply to reduce inflation, and cutting taxes—particularly for corporations and high-income earners—to stimulate investment and economic growth.

Evaluate the given options

• "Increase interest rates": This was a policy of the Federal Reserve under Paul Volcker to combat inflation, not a signature legislative economic approach of Reagan.
• "Cut taxes to the rich": Reagan's Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 significantly lowered the top marginal income tax rates, which disproportionately benefited wealthy individuals and corporations under the theory of supply-side ("trickle-down") economics.
• "Give tax breaks to nonprofit organizations": This was not a defining pillar of Reagan's macroeconomic strategy.
• "Allow people to take out loans easier": Reagan's policies did not focus on easing consumer credit access directly.

Select the correct option

The option "Cut taxes to the rich" directly aligns with the supply-side tax cuts implemented during the Reagan administration.

Answer:

• (A) Increase interest rates
• (B) Cut taxes to the rich (Correct answer)
• (C) Give tax breaks to nonprofit organizations
• (D) Allow people to take out loans easier
