There is a budget deficit; the debt will increase

Option 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the recession hitting the economy of the country hard, there is fall in the growth and development of the country. The recession of the economy leads to the increase in the debt on the government of the country because there is no revenue..

Since the expenditure of the government remains the same on the economy, the budget of the government gets disturbed and the budget turns into deficit with no revenue and more of expenditure.
