The correct answer is:
Foreign-currency assets, gold holdings of the RBI, and SDRs
India`s foreign-exchange reserves typically include foreign-currency assets (such as foreign currencies held in reserve), gold holdings of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), and Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) issued by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Loans from foreign countries and the World Bank are not typically considered part of foreign-exchange reserves.
