A. The profit (loss) is rising (falling) each year as the revenue is growing at a higher inflation rate than the production costs despite the weakening yen against the dollar.

B. The profit (loss) is falling (rising) each year as the revenue is growing at a higher inflation rate than the production costs despite the weakening yen against the dollar.

C. The profit (loss) is falling (rising) each year as the yen is weakening against the dollar despite different inflation rates in the two countries.
