Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. USD — Small is a 'pass-through' entity entirely dependent on its parent for financing and inventory; it is an EXTENSION of Big Inc.'s operations, so primary economic environment is the parent's
Where a foreign operation is an extension of the reporting entity (not autonomous), Ind AS 21's 'additional factors' indicate the subsidiary's functional currency is the same as the parent's. Small fits — financing from parent, goods from parent, no autonomy.
