The correct answer is option D) the revenue a government created by printing money

Explanation:

The correct answer is letter "D": the revenue a government created by printing money.

Explanation:

When the government prints more money, there will be more supply of it. A higher supply of money tends to increase general prices causing inflation.

The previous practice mentioned is implemented by governments that are not willing to increase the interest rate directly.
