` {:("I II"),("a. withhold d. reduce "),("b. executing e. increase" ),("c. make f. calculating"):}`

Options

A. b-f, a-e & c-f
B. None of the given
C. c-d
D. b-e

Answer

C

Explanation

The sentence talks about results of repayment of loan. The word b won’t fit in the first blank as the sentence is in simple present tense. So out of the given options, the one with word b gets invalid. Now let’s look at option E. Even though combination of a-e makes sense, because if we withhold a repayment of loan, we increase the repayment of loan, the combination a-d does not make any sense withholding repayment will not reduce the amount of loan. Thus, the most plausible combination is given in Option C. Both the words fit perfectly and make complete sense. Thus, Option C is the correct answer.
