Solution
The correct option is E No change
The sentence given should remain as is. No change is necessary as on the basis of parallelism (a balance within the sentence by using elements in the sentence that are grammatically similar or identical in structure) we can eliminate all other options. In options C and D, 'invest' is not parallel to 'are stressing'. In E, 'are stressing' is not parallel to 'the investment'. In option B, 'economically' is incorrect as it means inexpensively and we need the meaning of economic , that is, a reference to the finance. The sentence given is grammatically sound as is.
