Correct Answer: cut down on


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

Explanation:

The phrasal verb cut down on is the most appropriate choice in the context of reducing or eliminating expenses. It conveys the idea of making a reduction or decrease in something, in this case, expenses. "cut off" and "cut out" could imply a complete cessation or removal, which might not be the intended meaning in this context. "Cut for" and "cut up" do not convey the appropriate sense of reducing or eliminating expenses.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: You must cut down on your expenses if you want to save money.
