Correct answer: b.
Reducing non‑essential (or other reducible) expenses directly frees money each month that can be moved into savings. The other choices are ineffective or risky: (a) keeping fixed essentials unchanged doesn't increase savings; (c) delaying bills can lead to late fees and credit problems; (d) using emergency savings for unexpected costs depletes savings rather than increasing monthly savings.
