Ability to consume goods or services

a. Yes, because with inflation you do indeed have 15% more money

b. Yes, because with inflation 15% more money does imply 15% more wealth.

c. No, because with inflation 15% more money does not imply 15% more wealth.

d. No, because with inflation 15% more money means your wealth increased more than 15%.
