A financial genius is someone who manages to earn more than his family can spend.

Which of the following is closest in meaning to the above sentence?

A. People tend to spend more than they can afford to.
B. One should earn as much as one needs to spend.
C. A financial genius is one who can manage his own personal finances well.
D. Only the earning members of a family are bothered about expenses.
E. A financial genius is one who can save a little of his earnings.

Ans C

C. A financial genius is one who can manage his own personal finances well.

Hello rohit8865,
The argument is explaining a genius by saying that he manages to earn more than his family's spending. Here E is more appropriate than option C. The option C is concentrating only on his personal finances, whereas the option E is telling the broadened picture of his earnings and family's spending.
Hope it helps. Please argue if not satisfied.
