Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Revenue Deficit=Revenue Expenditure−Revenue Receipts. Adding capital outlays and net lending gives the standard gross-fiscal-deficit presentation, with non-debt recovery treatment embedded in net lending. Total capital disbursement can include debt repayment, which is financing rather than the deficit; the second and fourth incorrectly add selected repayments and omit capital outlays.
