Interesting, I was leaning towards option B at first, but the explanation for option D seems more comprehensive. Gotta pay attention to those details!

Hmm, the key here is the company's expectations. I think option D makes the most sense, as the company wants to protect itself against the USD strengthening beyond a certain point.
