Explanation

To 'put all your eggs in one basket' means to risk everything on a single venture or investment. This perfectly fits the context where Rohan wants to invest his entire savings on one project, which his father considers too risky. The other idioms don't fit: keeping body and soul together means surviving minimally, letting chips fall means accepting whatever happens, sneezing at something means treating it as insignificant, and beating about the bush means avoiding the main topic.
