B · A government should borrow to keep services going, rather than cut them.
World, unweighted: 0% A · 100% neither · 0% B · n = 1

of 100

A national figure appears only once that nation clears 100 responses on the question. The world column is a raw count of every answer received and is not post-stratified — it is shown because withholding it would say less, not more.
