Answer:

C) in swap transactions where the trader is attempting to minimize currency exposure, the actual spot and outright forward rates are often of no consequence.

Explanation:

Swap transactions occur with negotiations based on the profitability of two goods, in relation to the profitability related to the value of a currency of a given location. As the currency value of these two goods can vary significantly, the traders involved in this process always seek to minimize currency exposure, as well as real cash rates. This gives space for bank brokers to use shortened laces notation, where future price predictions are considered.
