Answer:

B) you have a deficit of 175

Step-by-step explanation:

Add up all of your costs per month and subtract that from your net pay.

ie: 2500-2675=-175

Since the answer is negative, and you don't make the extra $175 dollars needed to cover all your costs, it is a deficit.

If you made $2675 a month and your total expenses were 2500, then you would have a surplus of $175. Because it is money that you still have and don't need to use for anything specific.
