Answer 2

A). It informs readers about the likely economic effects of this year's flu outbreak.

Step-by-step explanation:

The author creates a particular work with a specific reason or intent i.e. to inform/educate, persuade, entertain, satirize an issue, or to mere relate an incident before the audience.

The Bloomberg Business article titled 'What...Economy' primarily intends to 'inform the reader regarding the probable economic effects caused by the outbreak of flu this year.' This would add to readers' knowledge by educating them about the factual effects they are likely to face due to the outbreak and make their plans accordingly. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
