(C) INCORRECT... the construction is awkward
(D) INCORRECT... same as (C)
(E) INCORRECT... passive construction is not required.
Between (A) and (B),
IMHO,infinitive is more proper to show the intention.Hence (B)
Please correct me if anything is wrong.
Thanks

in the pattern
main clause+ to do
to do shows a future action done by subject of main clause.
so
in choice B, the board perform the action of "stimulate". this is logic.
"for doing" is used to show a purpose of a noun, not a clause.
the pen for writing is mine.
