Correct Answer: Fiscal deficit


Solution : The correct answer is (d) Fiscal deficit.

Fiscal deficit refers to the difference between the government's total expenditure and its total revenue (both tax and non-tax). When the government's total expenditure exceeds its total revenue, it needs to finance the deficit by borrowing money. Therefore, borrowings are a component of the fiscal deficit.
