Option A: Wrong
This option under normal unambiguous situation seems to be appropriate enough as it is without any verbosity. However, in case of choosing the most fitting of options, you just have to beam your search light further to get a much simpler yet most accurate option.
Option B: Right
''Than they do into''. put is the action word here used to describe how the home owners intend to expand their money. ''Put'' and ''do'' could be classified as both performing the same function of ''verb'' and it suitably fits the sentence more than any other in the array of options.
Option C: Wrong
This statement is grammatically incorrect because it seeks to change the entire write-up thus weakening the writer's position. The homeowner have a choice of choosing what they do or put their funds into which makes a case for uncertainty around the wrong statement.
Option D: Wrong
''As into''. The use of ''as'' here means a replacement of an item. it means the same amount of money, zeal and/or energy would be put in equal measurement into ''home improvements'' which does not conform with the writer's position.
Option E: Wrong
''As'' being used here signifies a direct replacement of the object article. It seeks to explain that home improvements represents in direct terms the investment the investors are aiming to go for.
