Selected Answer: D
custom settings can be included in Salesforce packages, but only the definition is included, not the data. To include data, the subscribing organization must populate the custom settings after installing the package. So i guess D is the answer

As far as we use package, we cannot use custom settings, coz in package we cannot put data, metadata only. Then we may use SOQL, or .getAll().keySet() and use if we put currency into DeveloperName field.

Ugly question. Both getAll() methods return maps... but I believe custom metadata is more preferable. So even A looks also true as it will return list - as in requirements :) but it is not optimal because of query.

The list type custom setting is no more recommended by salesforce based on that fact should the answer still be 'B'?

Maybe custom settings are better suited for storing Lists, but yeah both answers B and D seems plausible for the usecase.
