Answer: Option D

Explanation:

When there is inflation it increases the money flow in the economy. When there is increased money flow the customers spend a lot of money on the goods and services so the pricing of the products are also based on the inflation in the economy.

Though there is increased prices the income of the people are also increased to that level. This can simply be called as increased cost of living. The prices are increased due to the increased wages of the people.
