Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

The US firm is using derivatives to hedge against the risk of Swiss francs falling.

A futures contract is the type of contract that two parties (one the buyer and the other the seller) the buyer will purchase an underlying asset(Swiss francs) from the seller at a later date in the future and at a price agreed by both parties. Futures is a standardized derivatives and it is traded in exchange.

To sell a futures contract or forward contract means the seller is anticipating fall or drop in value or price of the underlying asset (Swiss francs) and we say the seller is holding a short position.

While to buy a futures contract or forward contract means the buyer is anticipating an increase or rise in value or price of the underlying asset (Swiss francs) and we say the seller is holding a long position.

So since the US firm is anticipating a fall in value of Swiss francs, he will sell a futures contract on the Swiss francs
