I think it’s more about A, currency can really mess with salaries.

I thought hardship allowances were primarily to help with the difficulties of the assignment, so B makes the most sense to me.

I feel like the allowance could also relate to local salary levels, but that seems more like a different issue. I’m not confident about that.

I remember discussing something similar in class, but I’m not entirely sure if it’s just about physical challenges or if it also includes psychological ones.

I think the hardship allowance is mainly about compensating for the challenges of living in tough conditions, so I’d lean towards option B.
