Solution

The correct option is A a leather bag or a wallet
The word budget is evolved from the french word "bougette" meaning a bag or wallet. The bag contained the papers setting out the nations revenue, expenditure and tax. These papers were removed from the bougette and presented to parliament by the chancellor of the exchequer. Hence, the word budget came from the word bougette.
