In the two years since Iraq was ousted from Kuwait, peace and prosperity have returned to the Gulf region.
A、economic policy
B、economic stagnation
C、economic conflict
D、economic growth
【正确答案】：D
【名师解析】:根据题目内容，"In the two years since Iraq was ousted from Kuwait, peace and prosperity have returned to the Gulf region." 这里的关键信息是“peace and prosperity”，意味着在伊拉克被驱逐出科威特后的两年里，海湾地区恢复了和平与繁荣。选项A "economic policy"（经济政策）并没有直接反映题目中的“繁荣”，选项B "economic stagnation"（经济停滞）与“繁荣”相反，选项C "economic conflict"（经济冲突）同样与“和平”和“繁荣”相悖。而选项D "economic growth"（经济增长）则与“繁荣”直接相关，表明在和平的环境下，经济得到了发展和增长。因此，正确答案是D，即经济增长。
