Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

The current account and the financial account must sum to zero because any excess demand for foreign currency that arises from transactions in goods and services (the current account) must be met by an excess supply of foreign currency arising from asset transactions (the financial account). A current account deficit is offset by a financial account surplus and vice versa.
