参考答案【正确答案：C】
文章第7段“Ministers should also look at creating greater certainty in the rental environment, which would have a significant impact on the ability of registered providers to fund new developments from revenues.（大臣们应该致力于创造更稳定的租赁环境，这将会对注册供应商为新发展提供资金支持的能力产生很大影响。）”C项的"to fund new developments"是原文内容复现，所以是正确选项。
A项"减少注册供应者的成本"、B项"减少政府接介入的影响"和D项“减轻大臣责任”在文中并未提及，属于无中生有。
