解析
形容词辨析题。根据下文中的like discounts on their insurance(保险折扣),surcharge(额外费用),charges(费用)等可知,激励手段都和费用相关。[A]monetary“货币的,财政的”,多指金钱的,与货币直接相关的,例如:monetary policies(货币政策),monetary unit(货币单位),monetary value(货币价值);[B]commercial“商业的,盈利的”,例如;commercial innovation(商业创新),commercial district(商业区);[C]economic“经济的,经济学的”,多指宏观经济,非个人的,例如;economic benefit(经济效益),economic crisis(经济危机);[D]financial“金融的,财务的”,可以用来指微观的,个人的,financialincentives“财务上的激励措施”,不一定以现金的方式体现出来,但可以带来一定的利益,故答案为[D]financial。
