What if he is not capable of designing the budget?
Then you will have to change the FM or assist him.

If B is the answer why did he resign in the fist place when he knows what's suitable.

Since no reason for the resignation is given (it may or may not be a valid reason, we just don't know), the the government can only *either* accept *or* refuse, so the correct answer is clearly C.
It is also not in any way indicated in the statement that the FM "shall know better" although one would certainly hope so. The FM might for example be extremely corrupt.

But if the FM is resigning out of acute illness or any other sort of in capability it has to be accepted. Hence I think "C" should be the correct answer.
