Select one:
a. The nominal exchange rate will increase with no change in the real exchange rate.

c. The real exchange rate will increase with no change in the nominal exchange rate.
d. Both the real and the nominal exchange rate will increase.
e. The nominal exchange rate will increase and the real exchange rate will decrease.
