Are you sure these 3 are the only "a lowering" choices? between the 3, I picked B...

Reason for picking B is because
a lowering...OF, a rallY(?) IN, a weakning ..OF

parallism.

what is the OA?

The answer is B.
In B items are parallel:
"a lowering of interest rates and of fears about inflation, a rally in stocks and bonds, and a weakening of the dollar...

In C "along with fears" is not parallel to "a lowering of interest rates"
"a lowering of interest rates, along with fears about inflation (what about these fears? are they lowering or increasing or staying the same???)..."
