    Curbing imports of non-essential goods-and promoting exports

    Incorrect Answer

    Encouraging Indian borrowers to issue rupee denominated Masala Bonds

    Incorrect Answer

    Easing conditions relating to external commercial borrowing

    Incorrect Answer

    Following an expansionary monetary policy

    Correct Answer
    Explanation:

    Curbing the imports will help by reducing the Current account deficit and thus the depreciation of rupee.

    Encouraging Indian borrowers to issue rupee denominated Masala Bonds will help by reducing the demand of dollars in loan-repayment.

    Easing conditions relating to external commercial borrowing will help by increasing the inflow of dollars and other currencies.

    An expansionary monetary policy may lead to lower interest rates and thus flight of foreign capital from India (which would get better returns abroad). Also, such a policy may fuel inflation and higher imports through higher government spending and further cause slide of rupee. Therefore, D is the answer.
