Answer: It can decrease inflation.
Explanation: Contractionary policy (e.g., higher interest rates, reduced money supply) slows aggregate demand and economic growth, which eases upward pressure on prices and reduces inflation. The other options are either effects of contractionary policy (higher loan rates, less credit) or the opposite of contractionary policy (increase money supply), but the main positive outcome cited is lower inflation and greater price stability.
