changes to its_____.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Infrastructure.

  1. Infrastructure- the basic physical and organizational structures and facilities (e.g. buildings, roads, power supplies) needed for the operation of a society or enterprise.
  2. technique- a way of carrying out a particular task, especially the execution or performance of an artistic work or a scientific procedure.
  3. originality- the ability to think independently and creatively.
  4. method- a particular procedure for accomplishing or approaching something, especially a systematic or established one.

Method and Technique have the same meaning so these can not be the answer.

Option 3 does not match with the context of the paragraph so it will not be the answer.

Now we have only option "infrastructure" that will be the answer as it suits the context correctly.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
