A. will support federal objectives on investments for meeting the economy needs, and encouraged mature students to participate

B. can support federal objectives regarding the investments in meeting economy's future needs, and encourage older students for participation.

C. has supported federal objectives regarding investments in meeting the economy's future needs and encouraged older students participation.

D. would support federal objectives regarding investment to meet the economy's future needs, and would encourage mature students to participate

E. could support federal objectives regarding investments to meet the economy's future needs and encourages older students to participate

"to meet the economy's future needs" is an adverbial modifier and requires a verb .The only present D and E is "would / could support ). Therefore the meaning is changed
In C, the scheme is new, then how could it already have supported?
In A, there is tense mismatch between "says" and encouraged"
In B "can" shows ability and there is no definite article before "economy's"

There are many flaws in an original sentence placed into the question and the following answers A,B,C and E

I believe the correct answer is D.


A. will support federal objectives on investments for meeting the economy needs, and (sequence of tenses) encouraged mature students to participate

B. can support federal objectives regarding the investments (incorrect prepositional phrase+illogical predication: investments in meeting needs..., usually- investments into/in something to cover up needs, not in needs) in meeting economy's future needs, and encourage older students for participation.

C. has supported federal objectives regarding investments in meeting the economy's (has supported - future in the past?!) future needs and encouraged older students participation.

D. would support federal objectives regarding investment to meet the economy's future needs, and would encourage mature students to participate (correct sequence of times, correct parallel structure, no improper/illogical predication)

E. could support federal objectives regarding investments to meet the economy's future needs and (incorrect use of modal+verb, mistake in parallelism) encourages older students to participate
