Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The price of a currency in the international market is primarily determined by the forces of supply and demand [1]. Statement 1 is incorrect because the World Bank does not decide currency prices; it is an international financial institution focused on development. Statement 2 is correct as the demand for a country's goods and services directly increases the demand for its currency, thereby raising its value [1]. Statement 3 is correct because political stability is a critical factor; stable environments attract foreign capital and increase the desirability of holding that currency. Statement 4, while related to economic performance, is generally considered a secondary or long-term influence rather than a direct determinant of the immediate market price in standard economic theory. Therefore, the most accurate factors listed are the demand for goods/services and political stability.
