The answer is A).

When the parameter gg increases, a given change in inflation leads to a higher percentage change in nominal interest rate, i.e., the monetary authority is more responsive to changes in inflation. In this case, real interest rate is less sensitive to changing inflation, and thus investments do not vary with prices. Hence, the aggregate demand curve is flatter.
