    The correct answer is letter "C": The trade balance moves toward a deficit and the equilibrium income will decrease.

    Explanation:

    If in an economy people import more products than the quantity they export, the trade balance will fluctuate towards imports. This will cause domestic products to be less demanded. As fewer domestic production is needed, less labor hand will be necessary which leads to an increasing rate in unemployment and a decrease in people's income.
