Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Check Sentence A.
Grammatically correct: it properly links economic growth with infrastructure demand. Step 2: Check Sentence B.
Incorrect: "needs to doing" is wrong usage. Correct form should be "needs to be our topmost priority" or "needs to become our topmost priority." Step 3: Check Sentence C.
Grammatically correct: "reflected in the twin deficits of the US and rising surpluses of Asia" is standard construction. Step 4: Check Sentence D.
Correct: "the greater has become the risk" is properly constructed. Step 5: Conclude.
Only Sentence B is grammatically incorrect. \[ \boxed{\text{B only}} \]
