I'll go with B) Cross rate. It's the only one that sounds like it actually applies to exchanging between two foreign currencies.

I think it's B) Cross rate too. It makes sense for exchanging between two different currencies.

A) Quote rate? More like 'what rate?' I'm not even sure what that means in this context.

D) Dual rate? What kind of rate is that? Sounds like something you'd find in a sci-fi novel, not a banking exam.
