I've got a good feeling about option C - USD 5 trillion per day. That sounds like the right ballpark for the global forex market's daily turnover.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. The forex market is massive, but I'm not sure if the daily turnover is in the trillions. I'll need to do some quick research to get a better sense of the scale.

Okay, let's see. I know the forex market is huge, but USD 50 trillion per day seems way too high. I'm going to eliminate that one.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the scale of the global forex market to narrow down the options.
