Option A The impact of a change in the local currency on inflow and outflow variables can sometimes be indirect and therefore different from what is expected.

Explanation:

The reason is that the changes in the currency exchange rate in which the company receives the payment and is also not a home currency, such risk exposure is known as economic exposure. So the only option that correct here is option A.

Option B is incorrect because depreciation is non cash item and it is not exposed to currency fluctuations.

Option C and D are also incorrect because domestic firms don't face any economic exposure.
