Explanation

Demand-pull inflation occurs when overall demand for goods and services rises faster than supply, often because consumers are spending more. Cost-push inflation occurs when producers face higher costs, such as for wages or raw materials, and raise prices as a result. Therefore, the best choice is “Demand-pull inflation is driven by consumers, while cost-push inflation is driven by producers.”
