B

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If the dollar appreciates (the exchange rate increases), the relative price of domestic goods and services increases while the relative price of foreign goods and services falls.

Detailed explanation-2: -Effects of Currency Appreciation Export costs rise: If the U.S. dollar appreciates, foreigners will find American goods more expensive because they have to spend more for those goods in USD. That means that with the higher price, the number of U.S. goods being exported will likely drop.

Detailed explanation-3: -The economics of supply and demand dictate that when demand is high, prices rise and the currency appreciates in value. In contrast, if a country imports more than it exports, there is relatively less demand for its currency, so prices should decline. In the case of currency, it depreciates or loses value.

Detailed explanation-4: -Appreciation of domestic currency means lower price of foreign currency in terms of domestic currency. This increases the price of domestic goods for foreign buyers. This means imports become cheaper. As a result the demand for imports may rise.
