Answer:

C) The central bank has been increasing the target interest rate at regular intervals and it is now at its highest level in eight years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the central bank has been increasing the interest rates in Terbia, this means that it has been engaging in a contractionary monetary policy. In other words, the central bank has been decreasing the money supply in Terbia. If the money supply has been decreasing constantly during the last 8 years, then the high inflation rate cannot be caused by an increase in the money supply.
