Choose the most appropriate option opposite in meaning to the underlined word.

We should discourage further investments in existing factories?

Answer Details
The opposite of 'existing' is 'prospective'. In the given sentence, 'existing factories' refers to factories that already exist. Therefore, discouraging further investment in existing factories means discouraging investment in factories that have already been established. The opposite would be to encourage investment in factories that are yet to be established, which is referred to as 'prospective'.
