c. it makes prices rise

Explanation:

Inflation describes a situation where there is a general increase in prices in the country. Inflation is directly linked to economic growth. A high growth rate results in high inflation.

Inflation causes prices to rise, reducing the purchasing power of money. A reduction in purchasing power means a unit of money will buy fewer items than it did previously. The government puts in measures to counter inflation to stabilize prices and prevent erosion of purchasing power.

Low inflation indicates slow economic growth, low employment, and a reduction in prices.
