B Correct answer
Explanation

After 'process of', we need a gerund (verb+ing) or noun form, not a past participle verb. 'Finalised' is incorrect here. The correct form would be 'finalising' (gerund) or 'finalisation' (noun). The error is in part (2) of the sentence. The correct construction should be: 'The government is still in the process of finalising new policy guidelines...' or 'The government is still in the process of finalisation of new policy guidelines...'
