Solution
Extravagant means wasteful in spending or excessive beyond reason. In B it correctly describes a lifestyle of splurging without saving, in C it fits exaggerated claims, and in D it suits a costly gift they could not afford. In A it is contradictory, since an extravagant life would prevent, not build, a good investment portfolio. Hence B, C and D only.
