    Solution

    (c) In the emboldened phrase, the verb 'changing' is incorrectly followed by another verb 'reshaping' and preceded by the noun 'climate'. The verb 'changing' must be changed to its noun form - 'change' to form the meaningful noun/noun phrase - 'climate change'. The only option with this correction is option (c) and thus all other options are eliminated. Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
