With our demographic spread II. there has been an urgent need III. to codify IV. what is permissible social behaviour.

Step-by-step solution

Fragment II: there has been an urgent need The phrase 'an urgent need' implies that the tense has to be the present one. The correct verb will be 'is' instead of 'has been'. Correct fragment: there is an urgent need Fragment IV: what is permissible social behaviour. As it is not an interrogative sentence, the the clause will be in affirmative form. Correct fragment: what permissible social behaviour is. The rest of the fragments are correct. Clearly, option B is the correct answer.
