Question

In the following passage, some words have been deleted. Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate word from the options given for each.

India’s regulatory framework often attempts to ___X___ the irreconcilable economic interests while simultaneously ___Y___ the constitutional autonomy of oversight institutions, thereby avoiding policies that might appear superficially efficient yet structurally ___Z___ in long-term governance outcomes, particularly during periods marked by rapid privatization, uneven institutional accountability, and intensifying socio-economic disparities.

Select the most appropriate option to fill in blank (Y).

The correct answer is

preserving

Blank Y takes the object "the constitutional autonomy of oversight institutions", and the sentence presents the framework as trying to protect good governance.

"Preserving" means keeping something safe and intact, which is what a framework would do for institutional autonomy.

Measuring, standardising or restructuring autonomy does not match the protective sense of the sentence, so preserving is the best fit.

Hence, preserving.
