C.Purchase a futures contract for FC to DC that you could sell for a profit if the DC weakens, which increases your costs of exporting the input D.Engage in a forward contract for DC to FC at today's spot rate, given that counter-party risk is managable and that the supply contract can be written in the DC. E.Exercise a futures contract for DC to FC if the strike price of the contract (FC/DC) is higher than the spot market rate at that time and that the supply contrtact can be written in the DC.   F.Purchase a call option for DC to FC, which the firm will exercise if the spot FX rate (FC/DC) at the time is lower than the contract rate and the supply contract is written in the DC..    Detail Explanation Please, Thank you!
