A Correct answer
Explanation

After the possessive 'his', we need a noun. 'Extravagance' is the noun meaning excessive spending. 'Extravagant' is an adjective describing someone/something, and 'extravaganza' is a noun meaning an elaborate spectacle. Only 'extravagance' fits as a character trait that causes poverty.
