    Option (d) is correct.

    Explanation:

    When the tax revenue of a nation exceeds the government spending then the nation is running a budget surplus.

    Tax revenue is way to finance government spending. Budget surplus tells us about the financial condition of the nations and it indicates about effectiveness in the management of government. Tax revenues are collected from the public and government spending is the amount that is spent to enhance the living conditions of the people through improving medical facilities, infrastructure, better roads, etc.
