Which statement best describes how inflation affects the value of investments over time? it erases the value of investments. it increases the value of money. it decreases the value of money. it controls the value of investments.

The correct answer is the option C: It decreases the value of money.

Explanation:

Inflation is the name given, in the field of economics, to the term that refers to the situation where there is a sustained increase in the general price level of the goods and services that are produced in an economy given a certain period of time and that when that happens it also determinates a reduction of the purchasing power per unit of money, or in other words, the loss of real value of the money that is being used in the economy.

Therefore that it is understandable that if the value of the money being used decreases in its purchasing power per unit, then the investments over time will cost more and the money will have less value, so it will be more difficult to maintain that investment.
