The statement correctly notes that the dollar amount of imports increased in 2006 over 2003 but fell in 2009 relative to the 2006 level. It properly attributes this development to the impact of the 2007-09 financial crisis and the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to other major currencies as the decade of the 2000s came to a close. Option A and D incorrectly state that imports decreased in 2009 compared to 2006, while option C incorrectly states that the dollar amount of imports increased in 2009 compared to 2006 due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar.
