  3. yaggarwal says:

    The correct answer is A

  4. morrow says:

    i think it’s suppose to be E, except that there’s a typo – thought should be though

  5. Aniket says:

    I think its D if all others are mentioned right.. for morrow.. it wont be E because it doesnt specifically says that these measures have been used. It just talks about their existence. D is more focussing on application of ruthless countermeasures..A is grammatically incorrect

  6. varoon.g says:

    D

  7. Kesari says:

    I think answer is D

  8. Basant says:

    i think its A.. it should be noted that ruthless in this sentence is an adjective used for countermeasures…imp part is fanaticism cannot be controlled irrespective of the extent of countermeasures or however ruthless the countermeasure is…
    so i go with A…

  9. jaspreet says:

  22. Arkesh says:

    option A nd E does not fit with what the statement is trying to say. Option C could be right if it made sense.
    I can only see option D as thr right answer.

    I’ll go with D.
