Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
In an open economy, the national income identity is Y = C + I + G + NX, where Y is national income, C is consumption, I is investment, G is government spending, and NX is net exports. If Y > C + I + G, then NX must be positive, indicating positive net exports. Positive net exports imply that a country exports more than it imports, which corresponds to lending to the rest of the world or positive net capital outflow.
