Solution
Fiscal Deficit = Total Expenditure (Revenue + Capital) - (Revenue Receipts + Non-debt creating capital receipts). It therefore uses Capital Expenditure (A), Revenue Receipts (B), and Revenue Expenditure (D). Debt-creating receipts (C) are what finance the deficit, not inputs for its measurement. Current account deficit (E) is a BoP concept. Hence A, B, D only.
