Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
Correct Option: B
Option A is incorrect because a thing or idea is ‘focused on’ not ‘focused why’.
Option C is incorrect as well because a focus is not laid upon something.
Option D has a tense error with the word ‘focused’. It should be ‘focuses’ to match with “hinges” which is in the present tense.
Clearly, option B is hence the correct answer.
