2.15

4.35

6.55

8.75

9.95

Let’s break it down:

- In September 2021, the National Statistical Office (NSO) reported that India's retail inflation dropped to 4.35%.

- Option 1 (2.15%)—That’s way too low; inflation rarely dips that much, especially in a big developing economy.

- Option 3 (6.55%)—That would mean inflation was running pretty hot, but September’s numbers showed a cool down from the previous months.

- Option 4 (8.75%) and Option 5 (9.95%)—Those are really high, and such rates would be a major national concern. These weren’t seen at the time.

- Retail inflation is calculated based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), and for September 2021, the government specifically announced 4.35%.

So, the correct answer is:

- Option 2: 4.35%
