Your paragraph seems a bit tangled in the typing; however,
foreign investment cannot fall 250% since it would be totally
cut to zero by falling 100%.
I think your answer is D which should say:
"If foreign investment fell by 100%,it would be totally eliminated,
so it not possible for it to fall by 250%."
