Correct Answer: Inflation
Inflation is responsible for a rise in general price levels of goods and services in a nation’s economy. Inflation is a quantitative measure of the rate at which the average price level of a basket of selected goods and services in an economy increases over a period of time. It is the constant rise in the general level of prices where a unit of currency buys less than it did in prior periods.
