Answer (A) is correct . The American importer should buy pounds now. If the dollar depreciates against the pound in the next 90?days, the gain on the forward exchange contract would offset the loss from having to pay more dollars to satisfy the liability.

Answer (B) is incorrect because Selling pounds would compound the risk of loss for someone who has incurred a liability. However, it would be an appropriate hedge of a receivable denominated in pounds.
Answer (C) is incorrect because The importer needs pounds, not dollars.
Answer (D) is incorrect because Although buying pounds might be equivalent to selling dollars for pounds, this is not the best answer. This choice does not state what is received for the dollars.
