Correct Answer: spending against
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Explanation : The correct phrase should be spending beyond her means. The use of against is not appropriate in this context. Beyond is a more suitable preposition when expressing exceeding one's financial capacity. Against implies opposition, resistance, or contrary action, while beyond signifies surpassing, exceeding, or extending further.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "She has a habit of spending beyond her means."
