B Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence should be 'Analysts reported the economy is moving in a steady, upward direction.' The construction 'reported the economy it is moving' is incorrect - 'it' is redundant and creates a grammatical error. After 'reported', we use a that-clause with the subject 'economy'.
