Solution

The correct option is B Revenue Expenditure
Interest on term loan obtained and utilized for purchase of machinery before the commencement of production will be included in cost of that asset. That's why this is capital expenditure.
But interest paid where the commercial production has already begun is revenue expenditure because after the commencement of production this becomes part of normal business operations.
