Explanation
The phrase in needed is ungrammatical, since the correct noun phrase is in need, meaning in a state of requiring help. Needed is a participle or adjective and cannot serve as the noun object of in here. The sentence requires the noun need to express the beneficiaries' condition. The noun-not-participle rule makes part b the error.
