Correct Answer: When government spending is equal to government revenue

 


Solution : The correct answer is (a). When government spending is equal to government revenue.

A balanced budget occurs when a government's total spending matches its total revenue in a given period, typically a fiscal year. This means that the government is not running a deficit (spending more than it receives) nor a surplus (receiving more than it spends). In a balanced budget scenario, government expenditures are fully covered by the revenue generated through taxes, fees, and other sources of income.

The goal of a balanced budget is to achieve fiscal stability and ensure that the government's expenses are sustainable and within its means. It reflects a state where the government's overall financial position is in equilibrium, with no net deficit or surplus.
