In the context of the circular flow diagram with government, the correct answer would be:
**d. The government might provide expenditures to firms in exchange for their work on the park.**
This option illustrates a direct engagement where the government contracts firms for the development of the park, leading to government spending that directly supports the firms involved in the project. Options a and b do not represent direct engagement in the same way, and option c is not typically a means of engagement but rather an outcome or benefit.
