Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. And most of the micronutrients concerning are very safe.
- 'Concern' means 'relate to', 'discuss', 'study'
- The sentence says 'the micronutrients which have been discussed', so it should be in the past participle form i.e. V3.
- Hence, 'concerning' is required to be replaced with 'concerned'.
The correct sentence will be -
The vast majority of people are consuming suboptimal amounts of most micronutrients and most of the micronutrients concerned are very safe.
