Q: The number of foreigners going to India for fertility treatments, specially surrogacy, has dramatically increased in recent years.
A. especially surrogacy, have dramatically increased in past years. B. especially surrogacy has dramatically increased in recent years.
C. specially surrogacy, have dramatically increased in recent years. D. specially surrogacy have shown dramatic improvement in recent years.

Answer and Explanation

Answer:especially surrogacy has dramatically increased in recent years.

Explanation:
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.
