The term stagflation refers to a situation where
Options:

B .  rate of growth is slower than the rate of price increase
C .  growth has no relation with the change in prices
D .  rate of growth and prices both are decreasing
Answer: Option B
Answer: (b)
In economics, stagflation is a situation in which the inflation rate is high, the economic growth rate slows down, and unemployment remains steadily high.
Stagflation occurs when the economy isn’t growing but prices are, which is not a good situation for a country to be in.
This happened to a great extent during the 1970s, when world oil prices rose dramatically, fueling sharp inflation in developed countries. For these countries, including the U.S., stagnation increased the inflationary effects.
