Which year the Bretton Wood agreement failed?

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
The Bretton Wood agreement failed in 1971, when President Richard Nixon severed the link between the dollar and gold — a decision made to prevent a run on Fort Knox, which contained only a third of the gold bullion necessary to cover the amount of dollars in foreign hands.
