The government of Ruritania has implemented many programs that promote equality, but has become concerned about the very slow rate of growth that has held back their national economy for many years. In order to address this problem, the government is likely to:

b. reduce taxes and cut back on some social programs

Explanation:

When the Economy is not doing well, Social programs are usually targeted as they usually take a lot of money from the Government's coffers.

It is also a generally held view that reducing taxes as a Fiscal policy can help stimulate the Economy by leaving the public with more funds to invest in and spend on the Economy.

The Government of Ruritania is therefore most likely to combine reducing Social programs as well as reducing taxes. This will have the effect of leaving the Government with some money as it loses revenue from taxes whilst also enabling the public to have more money to invest and to spend which will then lead to Economic growth.
