Meaning of Inflation:

The term inflation refers to the situation under which there is an excessive rise in the prices under economic activities, thus a hike in prices generally occurs due to when an economy faces downfall due to limited resources and scarcity.

Thus limited resources occur due to less production level and thus the quantity of supply gets decreases, thus as supply decreases it increases the price of that limited resource so high that people are unable to afford that commodity product and thus inflation occurs.
