D only
Explanation:
The correct option is D only because it is the only sentence that is grammatically correct and logically consistent with the rest of the paragraph. Let's analyze each sentence to understand why the other options are incorrect:
A. Forget the fact that the Chinese economy has grown faster than India.
This sentence is incorrect because it is missing a conjunction or transition word to connect it with the previous and following sentences. It should start with a conjunction like "However" or "Nevertheless" to indicate a contrast or contradiction.
B. Forget the fact that in terms of infrastructural development be it power plants
This sentence is incomplete and lacks proper grammar. It is missing a verb and a continuation of the comparison. A correct version could be: "Forget the fact that in terms of infrastructural development, whether it be power plants or transportation networks."
C. and highways or hospitals and schools China is way ahead.
This sentence is incorrect due to the misuse of the word "and." It should be replaced with a comma to separate the different items being compared. Additionally, the word "way" should be replaced with "far" to indicate a greater degree of advancement.
D. Perhaps the most fundamental difference between China and India is the vulnerability of each to terror.
This sentence is grammatically correct and logically consistent with the rest of the paragraph. It introduces a new aspect of comparison between China and India, which is their vulnerability to terror.
In conclusion, option D is the correct choice as it is the only sentence that is grammatically correct and fits logically within the paragraph.
