Critical Reasoning (CR) | Re: Many economists assume that governmental corruption

The argument says that governmental corruption hinders economic development, because businesses must spend much of their income on expensive bribes. It laters says that it didn't hinder it at all.

What other factors could correlate with bribes and increase the income of the business even though a certain amount was spent on bribes?
Choice B. is the most apt answer as it suggests that bribing helped the business not pay taxes and keep that income instead.
"the proportion of business income spent on taxes has, on average, declined faster in nations with more corrupt governments than in other nations."
