    Option (B) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    CPI in 2015 = 114.7

    CPI in 2016 = 124.5

    The difference in the CPI from 2015 to 2016:

    = CPI in 2016 - CPI in 2015

    = 124.5 - 114.7

    = 9.8

    Inflation rate:

    = (Difference between CPI : CPI of first year) * 100

    = (9.8 : 114.7) * 100

    = 8.544%

    Hence, the rate of inflation between 2015 and 2016 was 8.5%.
