A Correct answer
Explanation

Economise means to spend less, reduce expenses, or avoid waste. The sentence states that without spending reduction, monthly expenses would exceed income. Spend, splurge, and save are the opposite or unrelated actions. The sentence specifically warns about exceeding income, requiring expense reduction.
