a. less money

Explanation:

Inflation is the generalized and sustained increase in the level of prices in the market over a period of time, when the general level of prices increases. That is to say, that inflation reflects the diminution of the purchasing power of the currency: a loss of the real value of the internal medium of exchange and unit of measure of an economy.

Among monetarist economic currents, there is generally a consensus that very high inflation rates and hyperinflation are caused by an excessive growth of the money supply. Opinions on the factors that determine low to moderate rates of inflation are more varied. Low or moderate inflation can be attributed to fluctuations in the demand for goods and services, or to changes in available costs and supplies (raw materials, energy, wages, etc.), as well as to the growth of the money supply.

separation of powers, therefore, refers to the division of government responsibilities into distinct branches to limit any one branch from exercising the core functions of another.   the intent is to prevent the concentration of power and provide for checks and balances.  

the traditional characterizations of the powers of the branches of american government are:

* the legislative branch is responsible for enacting the laws of the state and appropriating the money necessary to operate the government.

* the executive branch is responsible for implementing and administering the public policy enacted and funded by the legislative branch.

* the judicial branch is responsible for interpreting the constitution and laws and applying their interpretations to controversies brought before it.

forty state constitutions specify that government be divided into three branches:   legislative, executive and judicial.   california illustrates this approach; "the powers of state government are legislative, executive, and judicial.   persons charged with the exercise of one power may not exercise either of the others except as permitted by this constitution."

while separation of powers is key to the workings of american government, no democratic system exists with an absolute separation of powers or an absolute lack of separation of powers. governmental powers and responsibilities intentionally overlap; they are too complex and interrelated to be neatly compartmentalized. as a result, there is an inherent measure of competition and conflict
