Answer:

c. spending money to make more money

Step-by-step explanation:

Investing is placing the money we have saved on things that in our opinion, we believe will acquire greater value over time. For example stocks, bonds, real estate, investment funds, ventures, etc. It is an action for which we expect to receive benefits in a certain period of time. Thus, by investing we are putting off a current benefit for a greater or better one in the future.

Investing, unlike saving, always has an associated risk, so it is extremely important to know what are the risks we are facing with the investment we decided to make.

For example, if I invest my savings in a well venture, the risk could be that the construction company does not finish the building in the agreed time or that the work does not end.
