Which description best captures GDP?

Explanation:
GDP is the value of all final goods and services produced within a country’s borders during a given period, regardless of who owns the factors of production. This location-based measure means output by foreign firms inside the country counts, while a country’s residents producing abroad does not. That’s why the description noting all final goods and services produced within a country’s borders, by anyone, is the best fit. The other statements mix up whether we count by location or by the producer’s nationality, or confuse production with income, and GDP is not simply total income nor automatically equal to GNP in every economy.
