Which of the following is an example of a transfer payment that does not directly contribute to GDP?

A transfer payment is money given by the government to individuals without expecting anything in return, and it does not directly add to the economy's total output, or GDP. For example, when the government pays unemployment benefits to people who have lost their jobs, this money helps those individuals but does not count as part of the GDP because it is not payment for goods or services. Instead, it is a way to support people during tough times. Although these payments help boost spending in the economy, they are not included in GDP calculations since they do not represent production. Therefore, while transfer payments are important for social welfare, they do not contribute to the overall economic output measured by GDP.
