Solution

The correct option is C Increase the quantum of exports

Balance of payments abbreviated as B.O.P. refers to the record of all the economic transactions which take place between the country and the remaining world. This record is for a particular period of time.

Under-developed countries import more and more from foreign markets. To accomplish imports, they have to pay huge amount of money. However, the decline in demand for the country’s product in foreign markets affect B.O.P. Thus, the quantum of exports must be increased to combat excessive B.O.P.

The correct option is C.
