Option D.

All of the above encourages japanese investment in domestic US markets.
When the Yen to Dollar exchange rate increases, the exchange rate appreciates and the prices of US goods and services increases and the prices of Japanese goods and services decrease. This will decrease the US exports and encourage foreign investments from Japan.
