Solution

The correct option is C Tobin Tax
Tobin tax is a tax on spot currency conversions that was originally proposed with the intention of penalizing short-term currency speculation. Tobin tax is designed to deter only speculative flows of hot money, money that moves regularly between financial markets in search of high short-term interest rates. It is not meant to impact long-term investments.
