Final Answer : D, Explanation :  The American economy's competitiveness since the mid-1980s is not solely due to improvements in the educational system; factors such as technological advancements and globalization also play significant roles. Statement II is incorrect because the U.S. has historically had a low saving rate compared to other developed countries, which does not directly lead to a more competitive export sector.
