Correct Answer: decrease


Solution : The correct answer is (b) decrease

Tourism receipts are considered a part of the services exports in the current account. When there is a decrease in tourism receipts, it means that the country is earning less from tourism activities, which contributes to a decrease in the current account balance. This decrease can lead to a smaller surplus or a larger deficit in the current account, depending on the overall balance of other components such as trade in goods, income balance, and transfer payments.
