"Debilitate" is to weaken someone or something which fits perfect for the 1st blank, coming to the second blank I tried searching for a negative word in support to the first blank, which is "sap". Coming to the third blank the recovery process would be very slow which is none other than "sluggish"

We are looking for something negative in all the terms. While "sap" wouldn't be a common word to use for finances, option A is the best one of the three.
