Solution

The correct option is A CPI for white-collar employees
Consumer price index or CPI is calculated for the goods and services that are bought at retail stores like books, stationery, groceries, etc. It is calculated separately based on the employment and also the location.

People who work as teachers, engineers, business, doctors, and so on are called non-manual or white-collar employees. They have a separate CPI.
