B. Create an emergency fund.

Explanation:

All plans are subject to events that are predictable (example: the payment of a montly suscription I made for a specific magazine) and unpredictable (for example, lossing our job and, consequently, our salary). When we made a plan for our expenses and incomes, we should take into account all the items we know with certainty (a fixed rent, fixed or expected expenses, etc), and have a contingency plan in case of unforeseen circumstances. Then, creating an emergency fund is a smart decision to prevent incidentals and to be able to overcome this circumstances without being severely affected when we face an expense we have not prevent.
