SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Consumer's Equilibrium

Microeconomics deals with individual economic units (a consumer, a firm, a single market), while macroeconomics deals with economy-wide aggregates.

Consumer's Equilibrium - the situation where an individual consumer maximises utility from a given income and prices (condition \(\frac{MU_x}{P_x}=\frac{MU_y}{P_y}\)) - is a micro-economic variable. National Income, Aggregate Supply and Employment are all economy-wide aggregates and hence macro-economic variables.
