<em>B. The debt has been increasing over time.</em>
<em></em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Federal debt is the nationaldebt of the US government. It is a measure taken by the government to keep a track of how much the government owes its creditors. But as the government continues to spend more than it takes, the debt keeps increasing. These days people are keeping a close track of what is happening to this debt. A close monitoring of the same is understandable as the debt is explained to public in a vague manner. And people fail to analyse how the national debt affects their daily lives.
