Answer please and why?

Nice one. I'd vote for B.

A - Incorrect comparison. consumer and producer prices are
compared to "rising interest rates"

C - No cause-effect here. We know both are increasing, not one
because of the other

D - like should not be used to introduce a clause which has a verb

E - as cannot be used to compare nouns.

B has the correct parallelism.

My take is B.
