Answer:

D. surplus; sell

Explanation:

According to my research on Economics, I can say that based on the information provided within the question a surplus demand currently exists and the government must intervene and sell domestic currency for foreign currencies or gold. A surplus is an excess of something, which the accounts being greater than zero indicate this. Then by selling their currency they are leveling out the BOP back to zero where it should be.
