Answer: Option B
Answer: (b)"availed, widespread" is the pair of words that fits in the two sentences to make both the sentences grammatically and contextually complete. Availed means use or take advantage of (an opportunity or available resource); help or benefit Widespread means found or distributed over a large area or number of people.
