Explanation:

Correct answer is (b). The statements talk about an analysis which depicts that people in counties who supported Trump witnessed an increase in job growth while those Counties that did not support him showed a slowdown in job growth. Both these events took place in the same time period and thus together. Meanwhile, concurrently and while are all synonyms and convey this well. Ad interim means during the interval or in the meantime and conveys that one of the incidents took place during an interval/a gap. This clearly does not fit in.
Data indicates that the 10 percent of Americans living in counties that gave Trump the most support in 2016 saw average job growth of about 2 percent in 2015-2016 and meanwhile/concurrently the 10 percent of people living in counties that showed little support for Trump saw job growth slow down to 0.5 percent for the same time period.
While data indicates that the 10 percent of Americans living in counties that gave Trump the most support in 2016 saw average job growth of about 2 percent in 2015-2016, the 10 percent of people living in counties that showed little support for Trump saw job growth slow down to 0.5 percent for the same time period. Hence, option B is correct.
