A regulatory body was expected to come up and "work towards facilitating smooth transfer of power in the country after the democratically elected faction staked its claim" to take over overnance from military.

Options

A. work towards facilitate smooth transfer of power in the country after the democratically elected faction staked its claim.
B. work towards facilitating smooth transfer of power in the country after the democratically elected faction staked its claim.
C. work towards facilitating smooth transferring of power in the country after the democratically elected faction staked its claim.
D. work by facilitating smooth transfer of power in the country after the democratically elected faction staked its claim.

Answer

B

Explanation

A- 'facilitate' needs to be replaced with 'facilitating' because the action in context hasn't finished and is in continual phrase. C- 'Transferring to power' is the incorrect phrase and needs to be replaced with 'transfer'. D- The regulatory body has to 'work for' not 'work to', thus here is the wrong use of modal. E- 'During' makes the statement timeline ambiguous. So, option B is correct.
