When establishing a decimal format for currency, the correct class to use is DecimalFormat. Option C creates a new DecimalFormat object named USdollars which formats numbers in U.S. dollar currency format with two decimal places, separated by a comma every three digits before the decimal point, and a dollar sign as the currency symbol. Option A and D are incorrect because they use the "new" keyword to try to create a new instance of the CurrencyFormat class, which does not exist in Java. Option B uses the incorrect class name and syntax to create a new CurrencyFormat object.
