Correct Answer: True, as imported goods become relatively cheaper, reducing inflationary pressures.
 


Solution : The answer is (a) True, as imported goods become relatively cheaper, reducing inflationary pressures.

Appreciation of a country's currency can indeed lead to a decrease in its inflation rate. When a country's currency appreciates, the cost of imported goods becomes relatively cheaper. This can lead to a decrease in the prices of imported goods, which in turn reduces inflationary pressures. If a country has a high dependence on imported goods, the impact of currency appreciation on lowering inflation can be more significant. Therefore, a stronger currency can contribute to a decrease in the country's inflation rate.
