    Solution

    A – The preposition after object is ‘to’ . ‘object to’ or ‘objection to’ is correct. C – Since the action is continuing in the present, the ‘scaled up’ is wrong. ‘looking to scale up’ is the right usage. So the correct sentence is Despite China’s objections to Indian investment in Vietnam’s oil and gas sector, India and Vietnam are looking to scale up energy ties, while also strengthening defence and security operations.
