    A. a goods trade deficit

    Explanation:

    The current account represent the trade balance (export less import) plus

    the net income (person receiving interest, rent or wages from aboard less person and companies paying foreingers) and

    the direct payment. (remittances from wroker to US)

    As the US is one of the most open-economies in the world the mayority of this deficit comes from import of good and services from aboard.

    Another factor, is that US company invest around the world thus, the net income should be positive.

    And becuase the US economy is strong as opposite of Mexico or other Latin America countries, the average US employee abroard will not send their wages to support his family.

    Thus, we should ensure the deficit comes from a negative trade deficit.
