Correct Answer: Foreign direct investment
Solution : The correct answer is (d) Foreign direct investment
Foreign direct investment (FDI) is not a type of trade finance. FDI refers to the investment made by a company or individual in another country to establish or expand a business operation. It involves acquiring a significant ownership stake in a foreign company or establishing a new subsidiary. FDI is a form of long-term investment and is not specifically related to trade finance.
