Correct Answer: Assertion is false, but the reason is correct.
Solution : The correct answer is (c) Assertion is false, but the reason is correct.
The assertion that budgeting is a continuous process of resource allocation is false. While budgeting does involve resource allocation, it is typically done periodically, often on an annual basis. It is not a continuous process in the sense that it happens continuously throughout the fiscal year.
The reason stating that budgets are prepared only once at the beginning of the fiscal year is correct. Budgets are commonly prepared at the beginning of a fiscal year, outlining the planned allocation of resources for that specific period.
Therefore, the assertion is false, but the reason is correct.
