Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": trade deficit.

Step-by-step explanation:

A trade deficit occurs when a country's imports over a given period surpass its exports. This means that more will come into the country -being bought- than going out -being sold. Consequently, the country owes more to other countries than is owed to it.
