Which sentence best describes the faulty parallel structure in this sentence? He aims to earn a little and spending less than he earns. The first aim is stated as an infinitive phrase. The second aim includes the conjunction than. The first aim is described with more words than the second. The second aim is described with a gerund instead of an infinitive

Assuming this is referring to the same sentence that was previously posted, the proper answer would be "He aims to earn a little and spending less than he earns."
