    b) rise by about 1 percent

    Explanation:

    Given that a person's nominal income rises by 5 percent and the price level rises from 125 to 130.

    Percentage increase in price level = (130 - 125) / 125

    = 5/125

    = 1/25 = 4%

    Difference between rise in the person's nominal income and rise in price level

    = 5% - 4%

    = 1%

    Hence the right option is b) rise by about 1 percent.
