In the event that the country responds to the outstanding debts reluctantly, it will for sure __to inflation.
(A) reach
(B) approach
(C) lead
(D) apply

answer: (C)

why the choices (A) and (B) couldn't be posible answers? Both verbs could be used with the preposition-'to' and it seems to me that both verbs sound OK in their meanings to complete the sentence...

Inflation is a condition, not a place.  "Reach to" and "approach to" refer to places.


Without the "to," (A) & (B) would be possible, but unlikely.
