Answer-<p>In an official statement, the Agricultural Ministry said (A)/ it have decided to extend (B)...

B ndash Since Agricultural Ministry is a collective noun it has to be considered as singular noun. So singular verb should be used. Thus, lsquohaversquo should be replaced by lsquohasrsquo . D ndash The usage of lsquoofrsquo after concern is wrong. lsquoconcern over somethingrsquo is the right usage. So the correct sentence is In an official statement, the Agricultural Ministry said it has decided to extend the relaxation for imports up to January 31, 2021, in the light of public concern over high prices of onion in the market.
