As well as ______ resources

As well as ______ resources and creating production, the manager has an even more important task: the creation of markets.
A、harnessing
B、produce
C、producing
D、harness
【正确答案】：A
【名师解析】:选项A "harnessing" 是正确的答案，因为它与 "as well as" 形成并列结构，表示除了利用资源和创造生产之外，经理还有更重要的任务，即市场创造。"Harnessing" 作为动名词，与 "creating" 并列，都作为 "the manager has" 的宾语。选项B "produce" 和选项C "producing" 都是动词形式，不能与 "creating" 形成并列。选项D "harness" 是动词原形，也不适合与 "creating" 并列。因此，选项A "harnessing" 是最合适的填空词。
