Answer:
B. French wines will become more expensive in the United States.
Explanation:
Exchange rate is the rate at which one currency can be exchanged for another during international trade. The strength of a currency determines how much of the other countrie's goods it can purchase.
When the strength of a countrie's currency is high it will purchase more of the other countrie's goods. If however the currency is weak, it will take more to buy the other countrie's goods.
In this case if the dollar falls against the euro, it will take more dollars to buy French wine than before.
For example if a bottle of French wine was $500, after the fall the price may now be $800.

Answer:
It's best to invest in the second economy
Explanation:
The question does not provide information on the hypothetical economic expectations of the two economies, but as a risk-averse investor, it's a better idea to try to "spread" the risk instead of concentrating it.
In the first economy, conditions might or might not be good. If they are good, returns will be extraordinary because all stocks will provide good returns, but if conditions take a turn for the worse, all stocks prices will fall and the financial consequences will be catastrophic.
In the second economy, results might never be as good as in the first economy, but they also will not ever be as bad. The risk is spread between various stocks, and while some may fall in price, others will rise, and viceversa. For a risk-adverse investor, this a far better option.
