    B Expenditure equal to revenue Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Expenditure more the revenue Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Expenditure is less than revenue Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A balanced budget (particularly that of a government) is a budget in which revenues are equal to expenditures. Thus, neither a budget deficit nor a budget surplus exists (the accounts "balance"). More generally, it is a budget that has no budget deficit but could have a budget surplus.
