Why the others are wrong:
- A: Exchange rate changes are part of monetary or foreign exchange policy, not fiscal.
- B: Altering trade union power is labor or regulatory policy, unrelated to taxes or spending.
- D: Interest rate adjustments are monetary policy controlled by central banks, not government fiscal tools.
