  3. The government strictly regulates the Pharma industry from time to time.

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The word, 'regulation'' is a noun which means: A law, rule or other order prescribed by an authority (like the government). The related verb is 'regulate', which means: To control or direct by a rule, principle or method. The word 'regulates' is the present tense form of the verb, 'regulate' used when a third person singular noun is the subject.  In this case, the government is a third person, singular noun, which acts as the subject. Hence, option C is correct. 

Option A is incorrect as the word, 'regulations' is the plural form of the noun, 'regulation' and is not a verb.
Options B is incorrect as there is no word such as 'regulates' in the English language. It carries no meaning.

Option D is incorrect as option C is the correct answer.
