- Inflation redistributes wealth from creditors to debtors, i.e., lenders suffer and borrowers benefit out of inflation.

Correct
Solution: b)
Inflation redistributes wealth from creditors to debtors, i.e., lenders suffer and borrowers benefit out of inflation. The opposite effect takes place when inflation falls (i.e., deflation).
Holding money does not remain an intelligent economic decision (because money loses value with every increase in inflation).
With every inflation the currency of the economy depreciates (loses its exchange value in front of a foreign currency) provided it follows the flexible currency regime.
