Explanation:

Correct Option: A

Option B is incorrect because 'among' is being replaced by 'amidst', changing the meaning of the sentence.

Option C is incorrect as 'the' is a definite article and is to be used when the noun is specific.

Ex. "The dog that bit me ran away." Here, we're talking about a specific dog, the dog that bit me. However, here the word 'asylum seekers' is used in general terms.

Option D is fallacious due to incorrect use of apostrophe (Indian's) which is used to denote only one Indian. Also, the word 'maximum' is incorrect with respect to the context.

Option A is grammatically correct and hence the right answer.
