Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

Context: The sentence talks about the officials or people at Kaziranga National Park who are starting a new plan to save rhinos. So, the word should mean starting or beginning to use a plan.

Meaning of the words:
•⁠ ⁠Adapting – changing something to suit a situation
•⁠ ⁠Adopting – accepting or starting to use something new (like a plan or idea)
•⁠ ⁠Fostering – encouraging or promoting something
•⁠ ⁠Thinking – using the mind to consider or reason

Correct word: The best word is "adopting", which means to officially accept and start using a new plan.

Reason: In this sentence, officials are not just thinking or promoting – they are actually starting a new action or method to protect rhinos. That’s why "adopting" fits best.

Final Sentence: The authorities of Kaziranga National Park in Assam are adopting a new plan to save the endangered rhino.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
