C. In this article, the relative pronouns are missing. Add the pronouns where appropiate.

We now need to encourage investment in new high-technology industries such as clean energy and environmental technology. These are sectors where we have lacked political leadership not just recently but for decades.

The internet, which enables the open and free exchange of information, is critical to our future economic growth. It has already proved to be vital to entrepreneurs and America’s small businesses, which generate up to 80 per cent of new jobs in the US. But continuing this record will require a strong federal commitment to keeping the internet open. 

Technologies such as the internet can also help make our government more open and responsive to citizens. But even those of us who are technology’s biggest enthusiasts must recognise its limitations. In the end, it is people who have to make the decisions. 

More than ever, we need a leader who will look beyond the old thinking and orthodoxies and who understands the importance of investment in ideas and technology for our future.
