Answer:

d. neither the U.S. money supply nor the foreign country's money supply

Step-by-step explanation:

The main advantage of a floating exchange rate is that the real exchange rate is always balanced. This happens because the balance of payments is also balanced. E.g. if net exports start to increase, domestic currency will appreciate, resulting in higher domestic prices, which will balance the real exchange rate.
