Socially and environmentally responsible investing is on the rise: last year in the United States, over $2 trillion was invested in funds that screen companies according to a variety of criteria such as adherence to labor standards, protection of the environment, and observance of human rights.

2. according to a variety of such criteria, as by
   
               
3. according to such a variety of criteria as by
   
               
4. in accordance with such a variety of criteria as
   
               
5. in accordance with a variety of criteria, such as by

The main point of this problem is the difference between according to and in accordance with. I have an easy way to differentiate them:

according to is the whole requirements to do sth.

in accordance with is the subset of the whole requirements to do sth

This problem, clearly, the subset, then,we need in accordance with.

应该是A，

according to 是根据，按照的意思；

in accordance with是符合，一致的意思。
