What is the most important reason why South Africa began to invest heavily in infrastructure following apartheid?

After apartheid, South Africa invested heavily to extend and improve infrastructure for the population as a whole. Choice B best captures this inequality; infrastructure was not limited only to urban areas, as choice C claims.
