Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

According to the International Fisher Effect, the spot exchange rate moves identically in the opposite direction of the difference between the nominal interest rates of the two countries.

The formula for calculating percentage change in exchange rate as International Fisher Effect is:

E = [ (iA - iB) / (1+iB) ]

where E is the expected change in the exchange rate

iA = interest rate of Country A

iB = the interest rate of Country B

The equation can further be simplified as:

E = [ (1+iA) / (1+iB) ] - 1

From the above formula or equation, we can easily determine the change in the exchange rate with the availability of the interest rates of the two nations.
