Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

बाकी Options उत्तर क्यों नहीं हैंWhy the other options are not the answer

A'which … analysis, it received' इसलिए उचित लगा कि मूल वाक्य धाराप्रवाह प्रतीत होता है। परंतु 'it' 'the committee's decision' को दोहराता है, जिसकी क्रिया 'received' पहले से है।'which … analysis, it received' tempts because the original sounds fluent. But 'it' repeats 'the committee's decision', which already has its verb 'received'.
C'based on exhaustive data analysis, it received' संक्षिप्त clause के रूप में उचित प्रतीत हुआ। परंतु 'it' फिर भी कर्ता को दोहराता है, और participle phrase (कृदंत पदबंध) से वाक्य असंतुलित हो जाता है।'based on exhaustive data analysis, it received' looked right as a reduced clause. But 'it' still repeats the subject, and the participle phrase leaves the sentence unbalanced.
D'that was based … analysis, it received' उचित प्रतीत हुआ क्योंकि 'that' प्रचलित सम्बन्धवाचक शब्द है। परंतु 'that' अल्पविराम के बाद नहीं आता, और 'it' फिर भी कर्ता को दोहराता है।'that was based … analysis, it received' looked right because 'that' is a common relative word. But 'that' cannot follow a comma, and 'it' still repeats the subject.
