Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Durable fixed exchange rate arrangements may not even be possible unless countries are willing to maintain strict controls over capital movements (as China does), or, at the other extreme, move to a shared single currency with their monetary partners (as in Europe). Even a country following prudent monetary and fiscal policies is not safe from speculative attacks on its fixed exchange rate.
