Correct Answer: only
Solution : The first option is the correct answer.
The word "only" is used to convey the limitation or exclusivity of the survival of polio. It indicates that polio is now restricted to existing only among the world's three poorest and most marginalised communities. This word choice maintains the intended meaning of the sentence, emphasising that polio is no longer a widespread concern but is concentrated in specific regions.
Therefore, the correct answer is "only".
