Solution : The correct answer is (a) Value of a currency fixed in terms of another currency
It represents the exchange rate at which one currency can be exchanged for another currency based on a predetermined fixed rate.

The fixed exchange rate ensures stability in currency values and facilitates international trade and financial transactions.
