Wife hit the nail upon the head when she told her husband about the importance of saving money.

'Hit the nail on the head' is an idiom meaning to say exactly what is correct or appropriate, to identify the core issue precisely, or to make a remark that is exactly right. The wife's comment about saving money was spot-on and precisely addressed what needed to be said. It has nothing to do with actual violence (eliminating A and B) but rather verbal accuracy.
