Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Selling assets to the rest of the world (ROW) does not increase a nation's external wealth; it merely exchanges one form of asset (the asset sold) for another (the money or other assets received in exchange). Options B, C, and D all describe ways in which a nation's external wealth can increase, either through improved trade balances, appreciation of held assets, or through the reduction of liabilities via debt forgiveness or the receipt of aid.
