D

The velocity of money, V, satisfies the equation, MV = GDP, where M is the money supply. If M is held constant while GDP increases, then V must increases.

Intuitively, this says that if the money supply is not changed, then for production and consumption of a higher GDP, each dollar must change hands more frequently.
