Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

When the exports are more than the imports, it is a negative balance of trade.

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> If a country’s exports are more than its imports we call it a positive balance of trade or a favourable balance of trade. If its exports are less than imports we call it a negative balance of trade or an unfavourable balance of trade.
