Answer:

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%
