A Correct answer
Explanation

This is a comparative sentence using the 'the...the' construction (double comparative). 'The more you get, the more you spend' expresses a proportional relationship where one quantity increases as another does. The structure requires 'the + comparative' in both clauses. Alternative options break this required pattern and are grammatically incorrect.
