Answer-(i) There is some cause for concern (A)over the security situation, as encourage (B)by a spurt in mi...

In sentence i encourage B does not fit the context of a spurt in militant attacks. Instead, evident C fits here, as it makes sense to describe the attacks as being evident in the security situation. In sentence ii evident C does not fit with should not... or tolerate. Instead, encourage B fits here, as it aligns with the idea of not encouraging or tolerating mobilisation that causes communal rift. After interchanging B and C, the sentences will be correct in all aspects. Hence, the correct answer is option 4 B-C only.
