Correct answer: A

The Survey is prepared in the Department of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance, under the Chief Economic Adviser.
It is tabled in Parliament a day before the Budget and reviews the year that has passed.
It is a review and an argument, not a statement of what the government will spend.

Worth noting

The Survey carries no binding force. A recommendation in it may or may not turn up in the Budget the next day.
