Correct Answer: Deficit financing

 


Solution : The correct answer is (a) Deficit financing.

When a government borrows money to finance its expenditures, it is referred to as deficit financing.

To cover this deficit, the government borrows money from various sources such as issuing bonds, obtaining loans from domestic or foreign entities, or utilizing other forms of debt.
