Option A: INCORRECT
This is not a substantial basis to derive a meaningful submission because the underlined sentence is the direct statement of this option which is not sufficient enough.

Option B: CORRECT
Here is a simple continuity statement that shows that the conjunction ''and'' is well placed as a connector in the statement without any ambiguity. Hence, it depicts a more appropriate means to answering the question.

Option C: INCORRECT
The statement is not well constructed as the possessive nominal word ''country'' does not bear the possessive apostrophe (') sign which would have made it more grammatically correct.

Option D: INCORRECT
The use of a continuity comma sign (,) and the conjunction ''and'' renders the sentence too voluminous statement- wise and offers no further meaning as it is now an additional over-specification.

Option E: INCORRECT
This is grammatically incorrect as projection decline should be with a ''by'' and not ''at'' although both are preposition but the latter is more apt herein.
