Hi Experts ,

Please explain.

Also please explain why did we choose BUT instead of WHILE in this. Can this be also a reason to eliminate options. If yes or no please explain.

Many thanks in advance.

In B and D, that lacks a clear antecedent.
Eliminate B and D.

Appositives are two nouns that appear side-by-side, with the second serving to explain or define the first.
C and E: their major shareholders' expectations - a group comprising many of the world's rich nations
Here, a group seems to be in apposition to expectations, implying that EXPECTATIONS are A GROUP COMPRISING MANY OF THE WORLD'S RICH NATIONS.
This meaning is nonsensical.
Eliminate C and E.

The correct answer is A.

Generaliy, while + VERBing serves to express CONCURRENCE.
B: struggled...while neglecting
D: had to struggle...while neglecting
In these options, the usage of while neglecting implies that the bank and fund were neglecting AT THE SAME TIME as they struggled/had to struggle.
Not the intended meaning.

The intention here is to express not concurrence but CONTRAST, as in the OA:
continually struggled to meet the expectations...but neglected their intended beneficiaries.
Here, the usage of but conveys the following contrast:
Although the bank and fund struggled to do something POSITIVE (meet the expectations), they did something NEGATIVE (neglected their intended beneficiaries).
