    Answer: Option (a) is correct.

    Explanation:

    C + I + G + (X - IM):

    Above equation represents the gross domestic product of a country.

    DI + NT:

    The summation of disposable income and net taxes represents the national income of a nation.

    Therefore, national income must be equal to the domestic product.

    The statement is false that imports must be equal to the exports because imbalances in the current account can be balanced by the imbalances in the capital account.
