Correct Answer: are heavily compromised.


Solution : The first option is correct.

The error lies in the segment, are heavily compromised. India's claim is a singular subject, and the verb "is" should agree with the singular subject. In the original sentence, "are" is a plural verb, which is incorrect.

Then the correct sentence would be: "India's claim to be a world leader in pharmaceuticals is heavily compromised."
