B is wrong for a few reasons.

1) In the economy to avoid is awkward. You would have to say in the economy's ability to avoid.

2) "what many feared" is an incorrect modifier. What introduces a question, and is being used incorrectly in this context.

I am also with A. With (B) in the economy to avoid the recession, what many feared earlier in the year, rather to come,

"rather to come" does not refer to the economy appropriately and is awkward, added to what Osirus has already mentioned.
