Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

The statement is correct. The sum of the current account balance plus the capital and financial account balance plus the official settlements account must equal zero. If the official settlements account balance is zero, then the sum of the current account balance plus the capital and financial account balance must equal zero. Therefore a current account surplus must be balanced by an equally-sized capital and financial account deficit.
