Solution

The correct statement regarding inflation is: "Inflation is a sustained rise in the general price level".

Inflation is defined as a sustained increase in the general level of prices for goods and services. As inflation rises, every dollar you own buys a smaller percentage of a good or service. Therefore, it does not increase your purchasing power or the value of the dollar, nor does it cause prices of goods and services to decrease.
