B Correct answer
Explanation

Inflation occurs when aggregate demand exceeds aggregate supply in an economy. When supply is less than demand, prices rise as too much money chases too few goods. This demand-pull inflation happens when consumers and businesses want to buy more than the economy can produce, creating upward pressure on prices.
