    Solution

    At A, "enhances" is incorrectly used to describe what the Health Secretary did. The correct verb here is "reiterated" (C), as the Secretary is restating or reaffirming support.
    At B, "sovereignty" is wrongly placed with "framework." The correct collocation is "binding framework" — hence, binding (D) should go to B.
    "Sovereignty" (B) fits correctly at D, as in “respecting national sovereignty.”
    So, A and C and B and D need to be exchanged.

    "The Health Secretary reiterated India's strong support for a legal, binding framework that enhances global cooperation while respecting national sovereignty and capacities."
