IN / INTO
IN ----> Represent state, No change in state.
Ex: John is swimming IN the swimming pool.
INTO ---> Change in state, motion from outside to inside
Ex: John jumped INTO the swimming pool.
To Develop / For Developing
TO DEVELOP : Infinitive ---> Intentional action
Ex: The mob protests on the road to block traffic.
The Mob intentionally want to block the road
Developing : Gerund ----> define consequence, Not intentional
Ex: The mob protests on the road, blocking traffic.
The Mob has no intention to block the road, they only want to protest but the traffic blocked in consequence of protest. This result was unintentional.
In this question, TO DEVELOP is required as some intentionally wants to develop treatments.
Thus, even if you change INTO to IN, the Op B is still incorrect.
Hope this help!!
