    The correct answer is option C.

    Explanation:

    The current spot rate for the Norwegian kroner is $1 = NKr6.6869.

    The expected inflation rate in Norway is 6 percent and that in the US is 3.1%.

    The risk-free rate of return in the US is 4%.

    Risk free rate in US - Inflation rate = Risk free rate in Norway - Inflation rate

    4% - 3.1% = Risk free rate - 6%

    Risk free rate in Norway = 0.9% + 6%

    Risk free rate in Norway = 6.9%
