b) and c)

a) and b)

Correct Answer:

a) and c)

Explanation:

Stabilisation measures are short term measures, intended to correct some of the weaknesses that have developed in the balance of payments and to bring inflation under control. In simple words, this means that there was a need to maintain sufficient foreign exchange reserves and keep the rising prices under control. Entry of private players was not a stabililisation measure but a structural reform.
