Correct Answer: Persuade
Solution : The third option is correct.
Discourage means to cause someone to lose confidence or enthusiasm, or to hinder or deter someone from taking a particular course of action.
Persuade conveys a positive and encouraging tone in this context.
The original sentence implies a positive influence on the transfer of capital abroad. Substituting discourage with persuade aligns with the idea of actively convincing or influencing people to engage in the desired behaviour of transferring capital abroad.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
Industrious: It means hardworking and diligent.
Construe: It means to interpret or explain the meaning of something.
Intolerable: It means unbearable or unacceptable.
Therefore, the correct answer will be persuade.
