Answer: Option (B) is correct

Explanation:

In dismal science, budget constraint tends to represent all combinations of commodities and services which an individual may buy given the current prices persisting in market and his/her respective income. Consumer theory tends to use this particular concept of budget constraint in order to analyze and evaluate consumer choices. In other words, it shows the amount of income that is available to an individual to spend on commodities and other services.
