Solution

The correct option is D The price of gold.

Gold standard can refer to several things, including a fixed monetary regime under which the monopoly government currency is fixed and may be freely converted into gold. It can also refer to a freely competitive monetary system in which gold or bank receipts for gold act as the principal medium of exchange; or to a standard of international trade, wherein some or all countries fix their exchange rate based on the relative gold parity values between individual currencies.
