Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. be developed by.

Concept/Grammar rules

Application

The ‘ing’ form of the verb that is ‘developing’ is incorrect here as ‘be + V3’ is the correct structure.

So, ‘developing’ must be replaced by ‘developed’ here.

The option that cites this change is "be developed by".

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
