Correct Answer is (d).Here the blank requires a word that implies encouragement as the context points towards national interest. ‘Rap’ means to criticize something. We, therefore, can eliminate it immediately. The word 'consolidate' is in present form and hence can be eliminated too. ‘Dissuade’ means to discourage someone and usage of it would be opposite in the context of the passage. 'Lure' means 'to attract' or 'to entice' and it doesn't fit the blank appropriately. “Prompt’ means to make them decide something or 'to evoke'. Clearly, out of the choices given, the best word for the blank is option D.
