Correct Answer: have borne


Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

Explanation: The original sentence contains a subject-verb agreement error. The subject "efforts" is plural; therefore, the verb should also be plural. The corrected verb form is "have borne", which maintains agreement with the plural subject "efforts".

The phrase "borne fruit" is an idiomatic expression meaning that the efforts have been successful and have produced positive results.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The efforts of the government in providing health education and primary health centers have borne fruit."
