The receipt of $2 billion from country Y by country X as transfer payments will be considered by country X as a A. grant.

Here's why:

A. Grant: This is a financial aid given by one country to another, which does not need to be repaid. In this case, the $2 billion received by country X is a transfer payment, which is typically a one-way payment. Therefore, it can be considered a grant.

B. Loan: This is a sum of money that is expected to be paid back with interest. The question does not mention any obligation for country X to repay the money, so it is not a loan.

C. Subsidy: This is a sum of money granted by the state or a public body to help an industry or business keep the price of a commodity or service low. The question does not mention any such purpose for the money, so it is not a subsidy.

D. Tax Revenue: This is the income that is gained by governments through taxation. The money in question is not being collected as a result of a tax, so it is not tax revenue.
