Explanation:

The subject here is "incidents" which is plural, thus, the verb should be plural too. Hence, "have" should be used instead of "has". Moreover, 'spotlight in' will get replaced by the 'spotlight on' as there should be a proper use of preposition. 'To put the spotlight on' something means to highlight it. Thus, option 2 is the correct answer.
