c. 5.41%
d. 5.51%

ANSWER: 5.41%
 
The Consumer Price Index for the month of November was pegged at 5.41 percent as against 5% month on month driven by rise in food inflation. Food inflation was pegged at 6.07% as against 5.25% MoM. Upside surprise in food inflation must not be generalised according to economists. The CPI running lower than RBI estimates could increase to 5.5% going forward.
