Correct Answer: has increased


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

Explanation : The subject "frequency" is singular, so the verb should also be in singular form, "has increased". This construction maintains the subject-verb agreement in the sentence.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "The frequency of large wildfires has increased dramatically in recent decades."
