I believe option A is incorrect, as prices may not necessarily have to increase due to inflation.

Hmm, I'd say A and C both apply. Prices would have to rise to offset the higher costs, and loans would become more expensive.

I'm going to go with option C as well. Increased financing costs are the most obvious impact of rising interest rates.
