If all prices, including the price of beef, increase by 3%, then the relative price of beef has remained constant and there is inflation.

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Relative price of beef = price of beef/ price of some other good.

As both beef and other commodities rise by the same amount, the relative price remains steady.

Because all prices have risen by 3%, inflation is there.

The relative price is the sum of another commodity that can be substituted for a given quantity. Assume we've got two A and B consumer.

There was a misunderstanding. Absolute goods prices may sometimes adjust, but relative prices may remain stable.
