Is the reason for an answer ok?

7) ... public opinion in Britain is still quite divideda) For what regards the European monetary unionb) As far as the European Union is concerned (I chose this one.)c)For what is concerning the European monetary uniond) As for what concerns the European monetary unionIn the 7), the four choices have no comma with them, so the question of them is a cause (topic) not a result (conclusion).
