Correct answer: to encourage exports.
Reason: Devaluing a currency makes a country's goods and services cheaper for foreign buyers (and imports more expensive for domestic consumers), which tends to boost exports and reduce imports. It does not "please trading partners" (they're likely to object if it harms their producers) and it does not reduce taxes.
