    No correction required

    Option A: ‘killing on’ is grammatically incorrect, hence it can be eliminated.
    Option B: ‘avoid’ makes the sentence incorrect as the phrase “avoid prevention” does not make any sense.
    Option C: The given words make sense. ‘Vicious’ means cruel and is an appropriate phrase for “crowd”. “To give shape to an imagination” means
    to materialize a thought. ‘Gentility’ makes sense as killings indicate that the humans are losing gentility.
    Option D: ‘murderous crowd’ doesn’t make sense, nor does “give avert”.

    A
    B
    C
    D
    All are correct
    Option A
    In part A, the verb ‘growing’ is used as a participle adjective. A participle adjective is a traditional term for an adjective that has the same form as the participle (that is, a verb ending in -ing or -ed/-en) and that usually exhibits the ordinary properties of an adjective.
    There is no need for the auxiliary verb ‘is’. The correct alternative is: The growing demand for forest-risk. Hence, the correct answer is A.
