I think the Answer is A. Find the actions the city is doing. Cities are stressing and investing. The verbs, when used together with one subject, must be parallel. Only A & B make this parallel. B uses "development economically", which sounds ok, but in English we usually put our adjectives BEFORE the modified noun. x2suresh wrote: OG 60)

Straight A.
Parallelism: are stressing to do X and investing.
I will say though that ARE investing would be better and clearer..

Easy to A.
Elimination of B is the catch. "Economically" changes the meaning.
