Solution

The correct option is A Decrease in the external value of money
When the country follows a fixed exchange rate regime the government constantly has to revalue and devalue the currency in order to maintain the pegged exchange rate. When there is upwards market pressure on the currency to appreciate, the central bank will artificially devalue the currency by buying up foreign reserves.
