50% needs, 20% on saving, and 30% on wants
50% on saving, 20% on wants, and 30% on needs

Explanation:

The 50/20/30 Rule for personal finance dictates that 50% of take - home pay goes to needs (essential expenses like housing, food), 20% to savings (and debt repayment), and 30% to wants (non - essential expenses like entertainment). By comparing with the options:

• The first option misallocates needs, wants, and savings.
• The second option misallocates savings, needs, and wants.
• The fourth option also misallocates savings, wants, and needs.
• The third option (50% needs, 20% on saving, and 30% on wants) follows the 50/20/30 Rule.

Answer:

C. 50% needs, 20% on saving, and 30% on wants (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with the third option being C)
