Correct Answer: Expenditures exceed revenues
 


Solution : The correct answer is (b) Expenditures exceed revenues.

A budget deficit happens when the government's total expenditures or spending exceed its total revenues or income during a specific period, such as a fiscal year. In other words, the government is spending more money than it is earning from various sources such as taxes, fees, and other revenue streams.
