Answer:

The answer is B, the forward percentage will be negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, to define the exchange rate, the exchange rate is the amount of money a single unit of another superior or lesser currency will purchase.Therefore, the root money value trading at an upward discount indicates that one (1) unit of the root money value cost less in the forward direction than when it is static. That is, when the money value exchange rate is moving forward, the rate is lesser compared to when it is static.
