17. Consider two exchange rates X/Y and Z/Y. (For example EUR/USD and JPY/USD.) They both follow perfectly correlated geometric Brownian motions with parameters (1,01) and (μ2, 02). (a) The cross-exchange rate X/Z (for example EUR/JPY) follows a standard Brownian motion (b) The cross-exchange rate X/Z (for example EUR/JPY) follows a general Brownian motion (c) The cross-exchange rate X/Z (for example EUR/JPY) follows a geometric Brownian motion (d) The cross-exchange rate X/Z (for example EUR/JPY) does not follow a geometric Brownian motion
