Phoebe Conley · Answer 1

A) depreciate

Explanation:

The monetary approach to determining exchange rates states that the exchange rate is a function of the total demand and supply of national currency in each country. The demand for money depends on real income and the inflation rate.

So an increase in the money supply, will result in an increase in the country's inflation rate. An increase in inflation results in a decrease of the currency's exchange rate.
