e. Less than 100

Explanation:

Inflation: Inflation can be defined as rise in general price level of the goods and services in a country.

It can also be defined as reduction in value of money.

In this case Inflation in US (2.5%) is higher than inflation in Japan (2%). So Japanese Yen is reducing less in value from US Dollar. So, now Dollar can buy less Yen than it could buy previously.
