Elina,
There is a mistake in this question. The right answer is (a) lost his shirt. I will fix this question so that it makes sense.

Hi Elina,
Oops. I'm sorry Elina - there is no mistake. This idiom "lost his shirt" refers to a person who loses all of his/her money. If you lose your shirt, you really have nothing and certainly no money. It's just a common expression that refers to gambling/taking risks.
