答案C

解析 plunge into/in表示“使陷入(或遭受)穷苦”。根据下文的budget conflict “预算冲突”,原文意思是“使EEC陷入了预算的冲突、矛盾当中”;所以填入“plunging”。而undergo“经受,经历;忍受;遭受”其后不接into;confront“使面临,使遭遇,面对(危险等)”,一般表示遇到困难之类的令人不愉快的东西或意想不到的事情,常用于被动语态,也可表示某事使某人“面对、面临、遇到”,常用于A confronted B with C结构中;convert“变换,转化,指(使)从一种形式或状态转变为另一种形式或状态,比如物理能量转化、数学公式转化、房间格局变动等”均不符合题意。
