The answer is B.
A can be eliminated because "economy of the member nations" suggests that all the nations together have one economy.
C is awkward in putting "every" before "economy" instead of "nation." It is not clear from C that each member nation has one economy.
D and E can be eliminated because "economies of each member nation" and "economies of every member nation" imply that each member nation has more than one economy.
In B, the verbs "have" and "be" are correct because "treaty specifies that" is an expression of requirement, which takes the subjunctive: "The treaty specifies (i.e. requires) that the economy of each member nation
have... and
be..."
