Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
Postponement of consumption and parting with liquidity are involved in a savings proposition.

Parting with liquidity (or ready purchasing power) in exchange for less liquid assets. For instance, purchase of a life insurance policy implies exchanging money for a contract which is less liquid.
