Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Purchasing Power Parity.

Explanation:

Purchasing Power Parity or PPP compares currencies of different countries through the approach of a market basket of goods. Two currencies are in PPP when, in both countries, a market basket of goods, taking into account the exchange rate, is priced the same. PPP currency rates are considered more reliable than the exchange rates on the market.
