Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The first option is the correct choice.

Explanation : The phrase "needs of the hour" should be replaced with "need of the hour", which is the right form of the idiom, meaning the most important thing at a particular interval, thereby indicating that there was a need to pay immediate attention to the reform of the entire banking system.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: " The need of the hour was to reform the entire banking system. "
