The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

A fixed exchange rate system ensures stability in exchange rates (Option A) and prevents speculations in the foreign exchange market (Option C), making trade and investment more predictable. It also makes coordination of macroeconomic policies easier (Option D). However, possibility of under or overvaluation of foreign currency (Option B) is a disadvantage of the fixed exchange rate system, as the rate may not reflect the true value of the currency in the global market.
