We can't see the chart.
Even if I can't see the chart, your answer is probably correct. Conventional economic theory indicates that inflation occurs when interest rates are low and the economy expands. It's not always true, as demonstrated by the last eight years, but that's the expected result.
You are correct, it's C, Inflation occurs as the economy expands.
