Wait, is this a trick question? I'm just gonna go with the one that sounds the most like a dad joke. Option B it is! Gotta love those 'factor payments'.

Oh, this is a tricky one. I'm going to have to go with D - government tax income being greater than expenditure. Sounds like a recipe for a higher GNP to me.

I'm going with C. A country's imports being greater than exports would mean more money flowing in, so GNP would be higher. Easy peasy!

Hmm, interesting points. I still think C is the best option. Imports being greater than exports seems like a clear indicator of higher GNP.

Actually, I'm leaning towards D. If government tax income is higher than expenditure, GNP would be higher.

I'm not sure about that. I think the answer might be A) indirect taxes are greater than government subsidies. That would also contribute to a higher GNP.

I agree with Cherry. When there is a net inflow of factor payments, it means the country is earning more from foreign investments, which would boost GNP.
