Correct Answer: Indian Rupee
Solution : The correct answer is (a) Indian Rupee.
As part of the economic reforms in 1991, the Indian government introduced measures to liberalize the external sector, including allowing greater flexibility in exchange rates. This led to the devaluation of the Indian Rupee, meaning that its value decreased in relation to other currencies. Devaluation aimed to make Indian goods and services more competitive in international markets and promote exports.
