A. Government's borrowing to refinance the debt may lead to higher interest rates. Higher interest rates reduce investment spending, leaving future generations with a smaller stock of capital goods.

Explanation:

When the Government replaces a debt with another debt by means of Refinancing, they will probably be charged a higher interest rate because replacing debt with another debt is not generally ideal.

A higher interest rate means a higher repayment amount. Should the government keep paying higher and higher rates for debt, they'll have to reduce their spending on Investment. Investment creates Capital Goods such as machines and equipment. A reduction in Investment spending therefore reduces future generations' access to capital goods.
