The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

A manufacturer produces 1 million televisions in the first quarter of the year.

It sells 900,000 of them before the end of the first quarter and holds 100,000 in its warehouse.

These 100,000 units of televisions will represent a change in inventory in the first quarter. A change in the inventory of a firm is considered an investment. And an investment is included in GDP. So this 100,000 units of unsold television will be included in the GDP of the first quarter.
