    Correct Answer is (B)

    Explanation:

    We look at the objectives the government has in mind to achieve;

    - stability in international trade

    - stability in investment

    Which of the listed policies will achieve these goals?

    - the tool here used to control international trade is foreign exchange trading

    - the tool used to control investment is interest rate

    To achieve stability in these 2 indicators, both tools should be controlled. Thus the monetary policy & exchange rate regime to choose here is:

    Controlling the interest rate in the country and imposing restrictions on foreign exchange trading.

    Option (C) won't suffice because an independent monetary policy is necessary.
