A clear E. There's two criteria by which citizens of Country F are judging the options:
1. World economic leader: Yes or no?
2. Absolute size of Gross national product
The apparent discrepancy is that option B offers a higher GNP relative to the GNP offered by option 1, but a lower economic ranking. It makes sense that the citizens rejected option b IF IT IS TRUE that they want their country to be the world economic leader. All of the other choices are irrelevant and don't move the dial.

Scenario 2: I have $120 and you have $110
you respond by saying despite in scenario 2 I would have $110 I want scenario 1 because you will have more than me
E explains this
