A
nine
💡 Explanation:
This is a classic proverb meaning that dealing with a problem early prevents it from becoming much worse. The 'nine' refers to nine stitches - fixing a small tear with one stitch now saves having to do nine stitches later when the tear grows larger. The other options ('time', 'hard-work', 'effort') do not complete this specific idiom correctly.
