    Answer: Option (A) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Nominal interest rate = 5%

    Deflation rate = 2 %

    Real interest rate = Nominal interest rate + Deflation rate

    = 5% + 2 %

    = 7%

    If a country is experiencing a deflation then the real interest rate is greater than the nominal interest rate.
