    Modern political praxis

    a productivist ethos

    D.

    permeated with

    Correct option is B

    Option (b) contains a grammatical error.
    Explanation:
    The adverb "now" should come before or after the auxiliary verb, not in the middle of "is thoroughly now".

    Grammatical rule used:
    Adverbs of time (now, then) are typically placed before the main verb but after the auxiliary verb in a sentence.

    · Incorrect: He is always late now.
    · Correct: He is now always late.
