    Solution

    Underpins –to give support or strength. Unearthed –find something in the ground. Protracted –lasting for a long time; prolonged. Here, the word “more risky” is used which is an adjective so an adjective should follow it due to the presence of the word “and”. Only protracted is the adjective in the third column remaining are verbs. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
