In the context of the extended AD-AS (Aggregate Demand-Aggregate Supply) model, when aggregate demand increases in the short run, the correct answer is:

**Real output expands resulting in a positive GDP gap.**

This reflects that an increase in aggregate demand typically leads to higher production and employment in the short run, as the economy moves beyond its full employment level, creating a positive GDP gap.
