Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks.

The Odisha Government ___________________ to develop a world class infrastructure______________ the premises of the Konark temple.

Correct option is C

The correct option to fill in the blank is (C) is planning; around.

Explanation:

• "Is planning" shows current or ongoing plans.

• "Around the premises" means surrounding area, which fits correctly.

Example: The university is planning to build new hostels around the campus.

Why other options are incorrect:
