Okay, let's see here. I think the key is to identify the positive impacts for the national economy that hosts the MNC's production facilities. A and E don't seem like positive impacts, so I'll focus on B, C, and D.

Ah, the age-old question: 'How can we attract multinational companies to our country and still keep our wallets full?' Looks like the answer is 'Beg them to pay their fair share of taxes.' Good luck, folks!
