  1. France
  2. Japan
  3. United States of America
  4. Singapore

Answer

Correct Answer

Japan

Explanation

Option B is correct: the data point reported Japan as the largest source, contributing $5.71 billion in April–June of the current fiscal year. France is mentioned in the space-mission context, not as the FDI source. The report does not identify the United States or Singapore for this figure. The figure also exceeded Japan’s $3.74 billion contribution in the whole of 2025–26.
