    Solution

    "Surveillance" fits grammatically as a noun after "increased".
    "Deter" is the verb needed after "to".
    "Sparked" correctly functions as the verb for starting a debate.
    "Infringement" fits as the noun related to government overreach.
    Swapping A with B and C with D corrects the sentence both grammatically and contextually.

    " Increased surveillance has allowed authorities to deter potential threats, but it has also sparked a debate about privacy and government infringement . "
