Environmental protection and management is ______attracting a lot of attention these days.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Deservedly.

  • The initiative is beneficial and hence a word having positive connotation is required.
  • 'Acridly' means 'in a way that is sharp and harsh'.
  • 'Lewdly' means 'inclined to, characterised by, or inciting to lust or lechery; lascivious'.
  • The above two words are out of the context and hence eliminated.
  • Out of the remaining options, 'deservedly' makes a coherent sentence.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
