Explanation:

The given sentence talks about the prevailing nature of ‘electoral bonds’ in spite of concerns and doubts regarding the same. The sentence goes on to explain that this is occurring because of rhetorical claims by someone. From the options it is clear that the ruling part is responsible for these ‘rhetorical claims’. Option i – ‘backing’ means help or support and has been used in conjunction with the correct tense format of the sentence.
Option ii – ‘endorsement’ also means help or support and it tallies with the sentence structure. Option iii – although ‘backed’ has been used it is in the incorrect tense form. This makes it incorrect. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
