I am a bit confused here 
>> means to do sth.
I am not sure if it is also used before a noun.
But in this question we should consider ||lism too. So ^ A ^ would be the best choice.

stressing ... investing ... hence A is correct
B is not as "greater development economically" sounds awkward

a means of~ is idiomatic but answer choices C and D are just plain sloppy.
Select (B) and click confirm.

A is likely to be option...
in case B..use of "are" is unnecessary and can be avoided....
