    Let's look at the option:

    A. Only wealthy nations need to repay their debts, so it slows their progress.

    -this is not true, as not only wealthy nations need to pay back debt, but all nations

    B. This is no longer a problem because debt repayment was completely erased after World War II.

    -this is not true: this is still a problem, and quite a big one.

    C. Both measures rob a developing nation of money it could use to invest in social welfare improvements.

    Well, debt repayment does rob developing nation of money that it could use for other purposes: so it's true! (structural adjustment doesn't rob but it maintains the state in which the nation needs to pay back the debt) - this is the correct answer!

    D. They always penalize highly developed nations rather than underdeveloped ones. - This is not true, as both countries are penalized, and the underdeveloped ones even more so.
