参考答案:  C


本题详细解析:

C

$\underset{‾}{\text{Explanation}}$:
Invisible exports refers to the export of services. If a Korean tourist spends money on his meals in a restaurant, then the restaurant provides services to the Korean; hence, it is an invisible export for the US.

Options A, B, and D are incorrect:

• Option A purchasing a firm is not a service and if an American firm purchases a British firm, it is recorded as foreign direct investment in the BOP of the US
• Option B sending aid is a current transfer and not a service
• Option D receiving dividends is a component of net incomes
