Answer:
The correct answer is option c.
Explanation:
Inflation implies an increase in the general price level. It reduces the purchasing power of consumers. Â
If the wages are increasing slower than the rate as inflation it means that the disposable income is increasing at a slower rate than the increase in prices. It implies that purchasing power is declining. Â
If wages are increasing at the same rate as inflation, it means that the purchasing power is constant. If wages are increasing at a faster rate than the increase in the inflation rate, it means that the purchasing power is increasing.
