Solution
The correct option is D Mother of invention The correct answer is option D.
The complete and correct proverb is 'Necessity is the Mother of invention.'
This means that one works to invent something only when one feels that the existence of that thing is necessary. Just as a mother gives birth to a child, necessity gives birth to invention.
The meaning of this proverb has nothing to do with crime, imagination and earning. Hence options A, B, and C are incorrect and option D is the correct answer.
