It is the game of proposition only. 'On' is used because investing is always followed by on.

I guess option A is incorrect since the Indian Statistical Institute is a particular noun and should have "the" before it.

@ Sandeep Kits & Sanjiv.
Here "The Iron and Steel Industry " is being considered as a single industry, that's why "is" being used. You may be right if we use "The iron & the steel industries" are.

Where "and" connects two words which represent the same idea then it would be taken as a singular unit.

I agree with @Sandeep @Rakeshi.
It should be "iron and steel industries are" because we are using "and", "is" correct when we are using "iron or steel industries is".
