本题详细解析:

C

$\underset{‾}{\text{Explanation}}$:
Devaluing the currency would increase the volume of exports and decrease the volume of imports. Assuming the Marshall-Lerner condition is met, this will increase the value of (X-M), which increases AD, which increases employment.

Choice A is incorrect as stimulating AD will increase the price level.

Choice B is incorrect as there is no direct relationship between currency value and income/wealth inequality.

Choice D is incorrect as devaluing the currency directly increases export volume and reduces import volume.
