answer explanation:
<p>The correct answer is <strong>(C) over</strong>.</p>
<p>The phrase "over the past decade" indicates a duration of time, which is best conveyed by the preposition "over." The preposition "over" is used to indicate a period of time that has passed. In this sentence, it indicates that the country has suffered from a lack of investment during the duration of the past decade.</p>
