Options
- Aaverage
- Benclosures
- Cbeneficiaries
- Dcoverage
Correct answer
D. coverage
Step-by-step solution
Usage of any of the words 'average', 'enclosures' and 'share' for the gap would be inappropriate as none adds any meaning to the context. Options A, B and E hence can be eliminated.&
Between 'beneficiaries' and 'coverage' the latter fits the gap appropriately and the presence of the verb 'covers' in the latter part of the sentence confirms it as well.&
Option D is hence the correct answer.
