Correct Answer: decrease


Solution : The correct answer is (a) decrease

An increase in import payments leads to a decrease in the current account balance. Imports represent an outflow of funds from the country to pay for goods and services purchased from abroad. When import payments increase, it means that the country is spending more on imports, which reduces the current account balance. This is because imports are recorded as a debit (negative) item in the current account, reflecting the outflow of funds from the country.
