Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "net international" refers to the country's international investment position or the difference between a country's foreign assets and foreign liabilities. A country is considered a net debtor when its liabilities to foreigners exceed its assets. As the statement mentions that the United States became a net international for the first time since World War I in 1985, it means that the country's foreign liabilities exceed its foreign assets, making the United States a net debtor. Therefore, choice C, debtor, is the correct answer.
