Solution

A. Accumulation

In Monetary terms Accumulation means to gather the wealth in a particular period of time. Generally people accumulae the savings in a risk free investment to spend it in future plannings.

Spending is simply the opposite of accumulate and so option B is invalid.

Divestiture and Consolidation is term used in Firms and Companys. Divestiture means to dispose of Assets or Undertaking whereas Consolidation means to aquire assets. Hence Both the opton C and E is also invalid.

Gifting means to gift something to somebody with an intention of not taking back from it. Hence Option D is also invalid as it is not savings but a type of Expenses.
