c. carry trade

Explanation:

Carry Trade can be defined as a low-interest rate borrowing fund and invest those funds in high yield assets. In this way, your profit is the difference between the lower interest rate and the asset. Carry trade is a form of intermediation because you are getting good at a fixed price (low-interest rate) and at a high price (high return rate).
