Correct Answer: became popular in


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

The sentence contains the wrong form of the verb becomes , which is incorrect in the context of the sentence as it is in the present tense and the sentence requires the past form became . Thus, became should replace becomes to make the sentence grammatically accurate, and convey the intended meaning that processed food gained popularity in the 20th century in India.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: In India, processed foods became popular in the 20th century.
