Explanation:

Hyper - inflation is extreme and rapid inflation. When the government prints a large amount of money to pay off debt, it floods the economy with currency. This excessive money supply relative to the available goods and services causes a sharp and often uncontrollable rise in prices, which is hyper - inflation. The other options are more related to normal inflationary pressures rather than hyper - inflation.
