Which of the following is NOT an example of stagflation in the 1970s?
A. Rising unemployment
B. Rising economic prosperity
C. Rising prices in the store
D. Rising economic inflation

B. Rising economic prosperity

Explanation:

Stagflation in the 1970s, by definition, brought unemployment and economic inflation which led to rising prices for products and services. Therefore, the answer is B. Rising economic prosperity.

As an alternative, we can look for an outlier:

A, C, and D highlight negative aspects (unemployment, rising prices, inflation). B, however, is a positive aspect, economic prosperity, thus should intuitively be chosen as an answer.
