Final answer:

None of the options listed; information, products and services, or financials, flow only one way according to the provided figures. Both goods and services as well as financial flows are two-way exchanges between the U.S. economy and the rest of the world.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the given descriptions, flows of goods and services as well as financial flows are illustrated as two-way exchanges between the U.S. economy and the rest of the world. Specifically, with U.S. exports of goods and services, financial payments move from other countries to the U.S., and similarly, with U.S. imports, payments flow from the U.S. to other countries. In both cases, the financial flows correspond to the direction of the trade of goods and services. Therefore, none of the options listed (information, products and services, financials) flow only one way. All these flows are part of a reciprocal process, which is reflected in the current account for goods and services and in the financial account for monetary transfers in global economic transactions.
