c. The U.S has a trade deficit. The U.S. purchases $800 billion worth of foreign assets and foreign countries purchase $600 billion worth of U.S. assets.

Explanation:

Exports =  $300 billion

Imports =  $500 billion

Trade surplus/(deficit) =  $300 billion - $500 billion

                                    = ($200 billion)

Considering all the options,

Purchases = $800 billion

Sales = $600 billion

Trade surplus/(deficit) = $600 billion - $800 billion

                                    =  ($200 billion)

Hence the right answer is c. The U.S has a trade deficit. The U.S. purchases $800 billion worth of foreign assets and foreign countries purchase $600 billion worth of U.S. assets.
