Yoga may manage pain and helping reduce stress.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. help in reducing.
"Helping" is a present participle, and it's incorrect here because it doesn't match the sentence structure.
The verb "help" in this context requires the preposition "in" followed by the gerund form (verb + -ing) to convey the idea of assistance in an action. "Help in reducing" is the correct form.
Hence, the correct sentence is:- Yoga may manage pain and help in reducing stress
