Solution

Correct Option: 3

Revenue expenditure is expenditure that does not create assets or reduce liabilities. Defence services expenditure (B), grants/central assistance to states (C), and interest payments (D) are all revenue expenditure. Repayment of loans (A) reduces liabilities, so it is capital expenditure. Lending to banks (E) creates assets, so it is also capital expenditure.
