Answer
Correct Answer : d ) 5.9%
Explanation :Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has presented Union Budget 2023-24 in Parliament. She said the government will stick to its fiscal deficit target of 6.4%. The fiscal deficit would be brought down to below 4.5% by 2025-26. For the financial year 2023-24, the government aims to reduce fiscal deficit to 5.9%.
