Explanation
The construction "It is increasingly ___ that..." requires the past participle "recognized": "It is increasingly recognized that learning levels... are highly unequal." "Recognize" and "recognizing" cannot follow "is", and "been recognized" would wrongly need "has been". Option (A) is correct.
