Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The passage states that the market capitalization of developed countries increased by about $15 trillion from 1995 to 2005, indicating a 74 percent increase. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Option B is incorrect because it refers to the period of 1987-98, which is not mentioned in the passage. Option C is incorrect because it refers to a specific event in the US stock market, whereas the passage discusses the overall market capitalization of developed countries. Option D is incorrect because although China, Korea, and Russia became more developed during this time period, they are not the sole reason for the increase in market capitalization.
