Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The second option is appropriate as 'have' should be replaced with 'has' as per the subject-verb agreement since 'meditation' is a singular subject.

Moreover ' was ' given in the first option is incorrect as it means that meditation was effective only in the past era and it is no more effective. The third option is also inappropriate since 'will be ' suggests that meditation is effective in future and not in the present era.

Therefore, the correct statement should be "Meditation have been the most effective way of boosting concentration level."
