Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. availability.

  • Availability means the quality of being able to be used or obtained.
  • We all know how we get our oxygen, i.e. from the plants. 
  • So, when we plant more trees, the amount of oxygen we get will also increase.
  • Thus, the blank will take the word “availability”.
