whereas,

In nominal terms, the value is measured in terms of money that means money transaction is involved in the transaction.

In 1972, the nominal term is less as the job value of 1972 is less than the job value of 2005 by $22,800 ( $30,000 - $7,200)

And, in 2005, the real term is more as the CPI index of 2005 is more than the CPI index of 1972 by 1.262 (1.68 - 0.418)

Hence, the correct option is C. less; more
