Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. A recent government report highlight.

There is an error of the Subject-verb agreement.

  1. subject singular - verb singular
  2. subject plural - verb plural

As the subject (a recent government report ) is singular we need to use singular verb(highlights) for making the sentence grammatically correct.
