Question 15 • GA-GSE Physical Science B

What is the cause of demand-pull inflation?

Answer
A
Prices rise due to high consumer interest.
B
Prices rise after production costs increase.
C
Prices rise due to a drop in product supply.
D
Prices rise in response to a cost-of-living increase.

Explanation

Demand-pull inflation happens when overall demand for goods and services grows faster than the economy’s ability to supply them. Strong consumer interest increases competition for products, pushing prices upward. Higher production costs, as in choice B, are instead associated with cost-push inflation.
