Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The error is in part B: 'who' is incorrect because the Foreign Investment Promotion Board is an institution/organization, not a person. Relative pronouns: 'who' is used for people, while 'which' or 'that' is used for things, institutions, and organizations. The correct phrase is 'the government body which regulates' or 'the government body that regulates'.
