Specially vs especially (Specially means exclusively for, especially means—for a particular purpose); 'especially' suit the context better because 'infertility treatments' are mentioned as the class of treatments the tourists go for. Options 3 and 4 are eliminated. 'The number of foreigners...' is the subject of the sentence, "the number" is always singular, hence 'has' is the correct verb.

A is incorrect in NRIs does not; it should be NRIs do not... B is incorrect as the preposition is missing " on employment etc... is correct, but on cannot be applied to 'or on any other purpose" hence a new preposition needs to be inserted. E.g., "for any other purpose". C also misses the preposition—other than for/on employment will be correct. D is incorrect "on any other purpose"—"for any other purpose" would be correct.
