Correct Answer: Current account surplus


Solution : The correct answer is (a) Current account surplus.

The income from foreign investments, such as dividends and interest, is recorded in the current account of the Balance of Payments. When a country receives more income from its foreign investments (inflows) than it pays to foreign investors (outflows), it results in a current account surplus. This indicates that the country is earning more from its overseas investments than it is paying out to foreign investors.
