Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. withdrew all support.
- The error lies in the option 1 due to the wrong usage of the tense.
- We know that after 'to' infinitive, the base form of the verb is used.
- Therefore, in the given sentence, 'withdraw all support' should be used instead of 'withdrew all support'.
The correct sentence will be:-

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1 i.e. withdrew all support.
