Answer & ExplanationAnswer: B) The offsetting of payment flows between geographical areas, reducing the cost of settlement between them.
Explanation:
The passage is based on economic development of the bank. It says that the economic growth of the bank in terms of the money is based on the cost of settlement. If this cost is reduced amongst the countries then the flow of payment will be maintained or vice versa.

The fourth sentence has 'is' before the colon, which is a implies declaration and not listing. So, again, it would not be appropriate.
Hence, the first sentence, however, is punctuated correctly.
