The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Check Assertion (A):
Transfers from abroad (remittances) are unilateral transfers. They are recorded in the current account, not in the capital account.
Remittances bring in foreign currency, so they sit on the credit side, but of the current account. So (A) is false.

Step 2: Check Reason (R):
Every transaction that brings foreign currency into India is a credit entry in the BoP. Every one that sends it out is a debit entry.
So (R) is true.

Step 3: Choose the option:
(A) is false and (R) is true. This is option (D).
Options (A) and (B) need a true (A). Option (C) needs a true (A) and a false (R). None of them fits.

Final Answer:
Assertion false, Reason true. Option (D).
