Budget is defined as A. control over the level of government spending. B. planned expected income and expenditure over a period of time. C. planned government expenditure of goods over a given period of time. D. money received from the tax revenue for planned expenditure.

The question asks for the definition of a budget. A. "control over the level of government spending." This describes a function* of a budget, but not its definition. B.

A budget is a financial plan that estimates both revenues (income) and costs (expenditure) for a future period. C. "planned government expenditure of goods over a given period of time." This is too specific, focusing only on government expenditure and only on "goods," not services or income. D. "money received from the tax revenue for planned expenditure." This is also too specific, focusing only on tax revenue as income and not encompassing all aspects of a budget. Therefore, the best definition is B. The final answer is B Send me the next one 📸
