The answers are:

A) Government tax revenue minus the sum of government purchases and transfer payments to households. B) a budget surplus

Explanation:

The formula to calculate public saving is (T - G - TR).

T stands for all the government revenue through taxes and tariffs. G stands for all the government spending including purchase of goods and provision of services. TR stands for all the government transfers including payments to individuals and households through social programs (including social security).

Budget surplus is the same as public saving.
