I feel like I’ve seen a question like this before, and it was about repaying national debts. But I can't recall if that was B or something else.

I'm pretty confident about this one. The IMF is focused on global financial stability, so helping countries with balance of payments issues makes the most sense. I'll select option D.

I'm a little confused by the wording of these options. They all seem plausible in some way. I'll have to read through them again and try to recall what I've learned about the IMF's specific functions.
