Answer #1

When the forward rate of a currency is higher than it's spot rate, the currency is said to be selling at 'forward premium'. Conversely if the the forward rate of a currency is lower than it's spot rate, the currency is said to be selling at 'forward discount'.

In the given question, only third option fulfills the criteria where U.S. dollar forward rate is lower than the spot rate (one dollar can buy 120 JPY per spot vs only 110 JPY per forward). Hence third option is correct.

In first and second options, forward rate is not given and therefore incorrect. In the fourth option, the forward rate is higher than spot rate & therefore incorrect.
