After drawing the graphs, I think, its B for price level.
For price level, GDP remains constant at the new level, price declines.
For feedback rule based on GDP growth, GDP remains constant at the new level, but at a higher price.

Is it A? Whatever the Fed does the real GDP will decline. And feedback rule won’t just leave quantity constant. Bad reasoning that proves I don’t know it. damnit. but that’s what I’d choose.
