Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Here, a relation between income and expenditure is shown. It implies that the expenditure will 'exceed' (i.e. grow more than) income in the absence of 'economisation'. Option 2 also seems to be correct, but 'economize' is a better option than 'save', because we need to spend rationally in order to save.
