The correct answer is "waste; restrict".
To understand why, let's break down the sentence. It says that having too large of a marketing budget can cause a lot of "_____," and having too small of a budget can "_____" how much marketing the company can do.
Looking at the options:
- "happiness; increase" does not make sense in the context of a marketing budget.
- "restriction; encourage" also does not fit because restricting the budget would not encourage more marketing.
- "profits; boost" is not the best fit as the sentence is not directly discussing profits.
- "waste; restrict" is the most suitable choice. A too large marketing budget can lead to wasteful spending, while a too small budget would restrict the company from doing as much marketing as it wants.
So, the correct answer is "waste; restrict".
