Well the typo in the first option threw me off a little bit but after reading all the options, I'll select B as my answer. Abhishek has already highlighted issues with other options.

A. Usage of “those of” is wrong and redundant here.
B. This is the perfect replacement. Hence, B is the answer.
C.This statement has logic issue. Economies can’t make up population.
D. This also implies that economies have made up the population.
E. This sounds as though some other countries contain the economies of Brazil, China, etc.
