Model Answer
(C) The use of funds for assets with the aim of generating future income or returns.
Explanation
The source passage defines investment as using savings to "get return on it in the future," which matches option (C) exactly. Option (B) describes expenditure on production inputs; (A) and (D) are too narrow or incorrect.
