Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

The 2023-24 actual ratios are current account deficit 0.7%, effective revenue deficit 1.6%, primary deficit 2.0%, revenue deficit 2.6%, and fiscal deficit 5.6% of GDP. Therefore D, B, C, E, A (local C). The first two codes put fiscal deficit before smaller deficits; the fourth reverses effective revenue and primary deficits. Current account deficit is an external-sector balance, rather than a Union-government budget deficit.
