Explanation:

The grammatically correct and contextually meaningful sentences are sentence (I) and sentence (III). However, there are certain errors of subject verb agreement in sentences (II) and (IV). To make sentence (II) grammatically correct, replace the verb “requires” by “require” since the subject of the sentence is plural [Adventure sports]. It is to be noted that the verb after the phrase “such as” is structured according to the subject preceding the phrase. Moreover, in sentence (IV), “these” should be replaced by “this” as latter part of the sentence indicates the singularity of the subject [airline business is a risky one]. Since, sentence (I) and (III) are grammatically correct, option (d) becomes the most viable answer choice.
