(B) Providing tax breaks and patents for firms that pursue research and development in health and sciences

Explanation:

By providing tax breaks for firms serves as an enabling environment for firms to succeed, as money that otherwise would have been spent in taxes, is re-invested into the firm, hence the goal of increasing productivity and growth is easily achieved.
