Many environmentalists, and some economists, say that free trade encourages industry to relocate to countries with ineffective or poorly enforced anti pollutions laws, mostly in the developing world, and that, in order to maintain competitiveness, rich nations have joined this downward slide toward more lax attitudes about pollution.

no OA is A
that was exactly my confusion !! i found have unnecessary !!so used B !!! aNY TAKERS ????????????
Let me try to explain, wonn 'economist say that rich nations join' in B make it universal truth and hence always always true? There is no universal truth here. Also this sentence is about cause and effect, a free trade encouragement may not always have same effect.
B looks good too, but I've learned from my weeks of practice, that if there's nothing wrong with A stay with A. Some other choices might sound a little better, but if there are no grammar flaws in A, in most cases that's the correct answer.
