I believe here are the challenges:
<span>a) competition grom countries with larger economies (the strongest competitor come from United States, China, Russia, Japan, and South Korea)
</span><span>c) an aging population, ( In recent years they experienced about 77% increase in elderly population)
d) members with weak economies (Most notably is Greece which is really close to bankruptcy)</span>
Now we have two choices, B, or C. The government would raise taxes if the economy grew enough to allow it, however a more likely option would be that the government started spending more money than they truly have. The answer is C.
