    A will be humans Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B will includes necessarily humans Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C will necessary include humans Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D will necessarily include humans Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No correction required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    (d) In the given sentence, 'necessaringly' in the highlighted part of the sentence, is not correct. The phrase in option a) 'will be humans' is incomplete. Thus, it is grammatically incorrect. In option b) the modal verb 'will' is not followed by the base form of the verb; instead of 'includes', 'include' should be used; also, in the same phrase 'necessarily' which is an adverb is modifying 'humans', which is a noun (misplaced modifier); the adverb 'necessarily' is misplaced here. So, option b) is incorrect. In option c) 'will necessary include humans', use of 'necessary' is incorrect. It should be replaced by 'necessarily' which means as a necessary result; inevitably. Hence, the answer is option d) 'will necessarily include humans.'
