Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Though mother’s milk.

- A number of FMCG companies wrongly advertise artificial formulas as the best.

Inspite is a preposition, and it must be followed by a noun, pronoun, or gerund (verb ending in -ing), not a full clause.
