Correct Answer: An increase in transfer payments to foreign countries


Solution : The correct answer is d) An increase in transfer payments to foreign countries

An increase in transfer payments to foreign countries will increase a country's current account deficit. The current account deficit represents the situation when a country's total imports of goods, services, income, and transfers exceed its total exports. Transfer payments include items such as foreign aid, remittances, and unilateral transfers.
