Correct Answer: Is exporting more goods than it is importing


Solution : The correct answer is (a) Is exporting more goods than it is importing.

A surplus in the current account of the Balance of Payments indicates that a country's receipts from exports of goods, services, income from abroad, and unilateral transfers exceed its payments for imports of goods, services, income flowing out, and unilateral transfers. In other words, the country is exporting more goods and services than it is importing, resulting in a positive balance in its current account.
