Countries with rapid GDP growth have seen rising protests due to income inequality. is correct.

The assertion links two things: economic development, and social unrest that follows when the resulting wealth is not shared equitably. A statement supports it best if it shows growth combined with unequal distribution leading to unrest.

Rising protests in fast-growing countries because of income inequality is exactly that case: development is present, wealth is unequally distributed, and unrest follows.

Basic facilities for poor people in developed countries says nothing about unrest. Foreign investment and job creation describe benefits of development, not the effect of inequality. Less conflict in low-GDP countries concerns countries without development, so it does not show what unequal growth does.
