A Correct answer
Explanation

Option (1) DABC The sentence given as assertion is 'Explosive growth of international business in the past few years has created unsought of opportunities'. As sentence A is against this globalization of business, it should be marked as counter-argument. Sentence C which supports international business can be easily marked as supporting reason.
