选项 A、generating
B、effective
C、motivating
D、creative
答案D
解析 本题考查上下文理解。从本句下半句的“invent machines，find new of power，and establish business organization(发明机器、发现新能源、建立商业机构)”等描述可以判断这类人应该是“creative (有创造性)”。effective的意思是“有效的”，通常只用于强调事物的效果，并不涉及它是否有创造性，更不用来修饰人。motivating的意思是“使产生动力的”，是主动意义。generating的意思是“使产生”，也是主动意义，在本句中显然不合适。
