Speculative and Transactionary motives
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
Speculative motive: A desire to hold cash in order to be poised to exploit any attractive investment opportunity requiring a cash expenditure that might arise.
- We hold cash rather than other assets whose values are falling.
- We hold on to cash to be able to buy them when their prices actually fall.
