Which term means money you receive regularly for work or through investments?

• A. Revenue
• B. Income
• C. Salary
• D. Interest

Answer: (B)

Money you receive regularly from work or through investments is called income. Income is the broad term for earnings that come in on a regular basis, whether from wages or salaries for work, or from investments like dividends and interest. Salary is a specific type of income tied to employment, so it fits, but it’s narrower than the general concept. Revenue refers to the total money a business brings in, not an individual’s earnings. Interest is one form of income earned from lending money or from certain investments, but it describes only a part of what could be included in income. So the most inclusive and accurate term for regular earning from work or investments is income.
