Solution

The incorrect statement is C. Under a fixed exchange rate regime, capital mobility does not have to be completely immobile. In fact, under the Mundell-Fleming model, a fixed exchange rate regime can exist with either perfect capital mobility or imperfect capital mobility. The statement is incorrect because it assumes that capital is completely immobile under a fixed exchange rate regime, which is not necessarily the case.
