demand-pull inflation
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Government spending: This occurs when the government spends capital on large scale projects creating an increase in demand overall because of trust, which leads to an increase in price and demand-pull inflation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Demand-pull inflation is a type of inflation that is caused when there is an increase in consumer demand for goods and services. This causes prices to go up as businesses try to meet the increased demand because of a lack of needed supply. This is historically the most common cause of inflation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The interplay of supply and demand helps set the prices of goods and services in an economy. Too little supply or too much demand can mean higher prices for everybody. Demand-pull inflation is when growing demand for goods or services meets insufficient supply, which drives prices higher.

Detailed explanation-4: -Demand pull inflation arises when the aggregate demand becomes more than the aggregate supply in the economy. Cost pull inflation occurs when aggregate demand remains the same but there is a decline in aggregate supply due to external factors that cause rise in price levels.

Detailed explanation-5: -10 For example, military spending raises prices for military equipment. When the government lowers taxes, it also drives demand. Consumers have more discretionary income to spend on goods and services. When that increases faster than supply, it creates inflation.
