D Correct answer
Explanation

The error is in part D: 'should start immediate saving' is grammatically incorrect. 'Immediate' is an adjective modifying a gerund, but should be an adverb. The correct phrasing is 'should start saving immediately' (adverb after verb) or 'should start immediate savings' (noun phrase).
