The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

The terms of trade is the ratio at which two countries exchange their goods. It is the ratio of exports and imports of a country. Terms of trade reflect the health of the economy.

It measures the number of goods a country can import in exchange for the goods it is exporting.

An increase in the price of exported goods will increase the terms of trade for a country. While an increase in the price of imported goods will cause it to decline.
