This is an inference question, whose correct answer is a must-be-true type.

Pay attention to this phrase: "a modest renaissance" which means that the current state is better than before (a renaissance) but is not as great as the peak ( a modest one). Thus C correctly points out this feature of the current situation and becomes the correct answer.

C. simply wants to test to see if you know the meaning of "a modest renaissance"

Since the quesiton is "Which of the following is information provided by the passage?" The choice must be mentioned in the passage. B. could be a reason why transnational cooperation able to win foreign contracts. However, the passage does not mention anything why transnational cooperation able to win foreign contracts. In that case, we can not choose B, because it is not "information provided by the passage".
