Answer:

A U.S. firm buys sardines from Morocco and pays for them with U.S. dollars. Other things the same, U.S. net exports

c. decrease, and U.S. net capital outflow increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a country imports from another country, the net exports decrease. Since payment must be made, the net capital outflow will increase. This is what happens with all other things being equal or the same.

International trade involves imports and exports between one country and others and the settlement of the net exports or imports with a tradable currency in the country's possession. When the inflow is less than the outflow, there is a net capital outflow, and vice versa.
