To determine
The correct option regarding the process of bringing down the rate of inflation that has become embedded in expectations.
Expert Solution & Answer

Deflation can be understood as the broad drop in pricing for goods and services that is generally accompanied by a reduction in the amount of credit and money available to the economy. The
