Correct Answer: No substitution required


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation: The sentence is grammatically correct. The sentence describes an action that already happened in the past, so the past tense "raised" is the correct form here. It indicates that the government increased fuel prices in the past, which resulted in rioting.

Therefore, the correct answer is "no substitution required".
