Publishers will lose a showcase for their books, which could mean more laid-off editors. Yet the problem is not the 【C2】______: writers will still scribble for scraps. Nor demand: American book publishers reported 【C3】______ across all platforms last year. It is just that no one is making money.
The business needs fresh ideas. Enter Unbound, a British effort to "crowd-fund" books. Visitors to its website can pledge money for a book that is only【C4】______.

答案
N
解析
空格填入名词,作介词of的宾语。由于书籍未出版前就能得到读者的资助,这样就降低了出版商的投资幅度,故选investment“投资”。词库中的finance“财政”不能跟lower搭配,可排除。
