• A. Monetary Policy
• B. Fiscal Policy
• C. Trade Policy
• D. Tax Policy

Answer: (B)

This is about fiscal policy and how government decisions on spending and financing shape the economy. Fiscal policy covers how Congress chooses what to spend money on and how it borrows to finance that spending, which includes budget priorities, deficits, and debt issuance. Monetary policy, controlled by the central bank, focuses on money supply and interest rates. Trade policy deals with imports, exports, and tariffs, while tax policy concerns how taxes are raised or structured. Since the description emphasizes deciding on spending and borrowing, the appropriate term is fiscal policy.
