    (i). It is the difference between the value of exports and value of imports of goods of a country in a given period of
    time.

    B.

    (ii) only

    C.

    Both (i) and (ii)

    D.

    Neither (i) Nor (ii)

    Correct option is C

    The correct answer is option (c)Both (i) and (ii)

    Statement (i):
    "It is the difference between the value of exports and value of imports of goods of a country in a given period of time."
    This is correct.
    The Balance of Trade (BOT) is indeed the difference between the value of exports and the value of imports of goods for a country over a specific period of time, typically a year or a quarter. If exports exceed imports, the BOT is positive (surplus), and if imports exceed exports, the BOT is negative (deficit).
    Statement (ii):
    "Surplus balance of trade will arise if a country exports more goods than what it imports."
    This is also correct.
    A surplus in the balance of trade occurs when a country exports more goods than it imports. This results in a positive balance of trade, indicating that the country is a net exporter of goods.
