A — 학교 (school) is an educational institution. While it can be indirectly affected by the economy, it's not typically described as losing 'vitality' in the same way a market does.

정답: B. 오르고

A — 내리고 (from 내리다) means 'falling' or 'going down'. If stock prices fall, one would typically not be happy.
