Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. sitting on the fence. 

The phrase 'sitting on the fence' means being undecided or not taking a clear stance on an issue.

In this sentence, 'A lot of people are still sitting on the fence over the GDP issue,' it implies that many people have not yet made up their minds or chosen a side regarding the GDP issue.

This phrase is commonly used when people are hesitant to commit to a particular opinion or decision, often because they are weighing both sides.
