In A, it looks like "with intention " modifies fund (illogical)





between C and D

In C and D

Alsask <is doing X> intended to sustain economy.

D --> its refer to what??? Alaska or Fund


C is the best

In D, for "oil reserves" is followed by "its", and fund could not have the oil reserves, its must means "Alaska"

(A) and (D) --> "its" refers to "economy". It should refer to Alaska.
