(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

Correct Answer:

(A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)

Here's the correct matching:

  • (A) Autonomous items - (II) Above the line items: Autonomous items in the balance of payments are independent of the balance of payments itself. They are considered "above the line" items.

  • (B) Accommodating items - (IV) Below the line items: Accommodating items, such as changes in foreign exchange reserves, adjust to correct imbalances in the balance of payments. They are considered "below the line" items.

  • (C) Balance of trade - (I) Net of visible trade: The balance of trade refers to the difference between a country's exports and imports of goods (visible trade).

  • (D) Capital account - (III) Portfolio investment: Portfolio investment, such as the purchase of stocks and bonds in foreign countries, is a significant component of the capital account in the balance of payments.
