The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation


The sentence has a modal structure in the phrase It is highly desirable that, which is followed by a base form of the verb. In English, after that in such constructions, we usually do not use "should" or a modal verb with the base form of the verb. - Option (A) correctly follows this rule, keeping the verb furnish in its base form. - Option (B) is incorrect because adding should here makes the sentence grammatically incorrect. - Option (C) has a strange structure, and the plural form evidences is also incorrect here. - Option (D) does not fit the context as should have to supply is not grammatically sound in this construction. Therefore, Option (A) is the correct answer.
