D Correct answer
Explanation

The confusion during 1999 hijacking underlined the total lack of a hostage policy and now this may change. This implies that the government is all set to come up with a hostage policy i.e. the centre would reveal its hostage policy. “Unveil” means to reveal or make visible, hence (4) is the answer.
