Explanation:

The first part of the sentence is grammatically correct as the sentence is in Present tense. In part (II) of the sentence, “there has been a remarkable surge in demand for jobs” is the correct phrase as the noun phrase ‘remarkable surge’ seems to be missing a determiner before it. The addition of article ‘a’ before ‘remarkable surge’ acts as a determiner to it. Moreover, an article (a, an, or the) is a type of determiner. Possessive adjectives (my, his, our), possessive nouns (Joe’s, mother’s), and quantifiers (each, every) are also determiners. Single countable nouns usually require a determiner. In the third part of the sentence, the preposition “in” should be replaced by “under” and the article “the” should be used before “Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme” to make the sentence grammatically correct. Hence (b) is the correct option.
