- cThe person's savings and any income of a spouse.Personens opsparing og en eventuel ægtefælles indkomst.Correct answer

Social assistance is only given to people who cannot support themselves. So as a rule you must use your savings first, and your spouse's income counts, because spouses must support each other.
