    Option (C) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Private saving refers to the savings of the households which cannot be used for the consumption and tax payment.

    Public saving refers to the savings of the government.

    Private savings:

    = Income - Consumption - Taxes + Transfer payments

    = $12 - $9 - $3 + $2

    = $2 trillion

    Public savings:

    = Taxes - Transfer payment

    = $3 trillion - $2 trillion

    = $1 trillion
