Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Presents.

  • 'The climate question' is the subject, so a verb is required after it.
  • 'Presentation' is a noun so it is eliminated.
  • 'Presenting' needs 'be' or any form of 'be' before it which is not given in the passage so this is also eliminated.
  • Since the subject is singular, a singular verb is required i.e. 'presents'.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
