Solution:

The following are the correct and incorrect options

Correct option: Households used to save and those savings are utilized for investment through the intermediaries like bank. Firms and governments take those funds for their investment acts.

Incorrect option: Savings means personal savings, which are not yet kept into a bank.

Incorrect option: such purchases are investments but not savings.
