D Correct answer
Explanation

Year 1 income = (2/3) × 45000 = 30000. Year 1 expense = 25000 (given). Savings Year 1 = 30000 - 25000 = 5000. Year 2 expense = (9/5) × 25000 = 45000. Savings Year 2 = 45000 - 45000 = 0. Total savings = 5000 + 0 = 5000. Option C (10000) incorrectly assumes both years have savings.
