D Correct answer
Explanation

'Skimp' means to be stingy with or provide insufficiently of something. 'Stint on' means to limit or use sparingly - essentially the same meaning as skimp. Shirk work means avoiding work, leave out relatives is unrelated context, and skip means omit but doesn't convey the deliberate withholding that skimp implies.
