This makes logical and grammatical sense. Other options can be eliminated as they involve swaps that either distort meaning or break sentence structure. Correct sentence: The government’s decision to incentivize private investment in green infrastructure was met with skepticism by climate experts, who argued that without a robust regulatory framework, such policies may unintentionally undermine long-term goals instead of reinforcing them.
