- AQRSP
- BQSRP
- CSPRQ
- DSQRP
Explanation
The subject is ‘the geo-political and geo-economic landscape’ (Q), qualified by ‘in a multipolar world’, with the main verb ‘is dynamic’ (S). This must be followed by the relative clause ‘where aspects related to application of military force are evolving rapidly’ (R + P). The sequence QSRP gives: ‘The geo-political and geo-economic landscape in a multipolar world is dynamic where aspects related to application of military force are evolving rapidly.’ Option (a) QRSP is ungrammatical because it strands two finite verbs — ‘is dynamic’ and ‘are evolving rapidly’ — with no conjunction. Hence (b) QSRP is correct.
