Explanation:

The given passage is about a certain paradigm. The attention it receives should be growing to make it an important factor to garner worldwide attention at a growing pace. Thus, the first blank should have ‘increased’ in it with reference to the context. This makes options A and D viable. The first sentence states that the paradigm helps to achieve ‘sustainable development’. The second blank should thus have ‘contributes’ in it as it means help to cause something. Thus, alternative ii should go in the second blank. ‘Dwindled’ means to decrease and cannot be used in any of the blanks making option d null. ‘Verified’ means to make sure or demonstrate that (something) is true, accurate, or justified and is the correct fit for the third blank. Thus, option 1 is the correct answer.
