The right answer is a) because economical means cheap, whereas economic means related to economy,trade,industry and management of money.
The other two are wrong because fewer requires countable plural nouns, economically is an adverb so it can�t be in front of a noun and economize means to reduce the amount of money you use.
I hope it�s clear enough.
