    C Jimena, because she will repay the loan with money worth less than the money she was loaned

    Explanation:

    In simple terms, inflation shows how money value decreases over time. If the inflation rate rose dramatically, that means the value of money will decrease at a higher rate.

    In this case, the present value of money will be much higher than the future value. Jimena gets loaned as the present value, but she will pay it at the future value which worth less than the present.
