Explanation:

The correct idiomatic expression is 'feeling the pinch' and not 'feeling the pinches'. The error hence is in fragment B.

Feel the pinch (Idiom):

To have problems with money because you are earning less than before

E.g. When my father lost his job and we had to live on my mother's earnings, we really started to feel the pinch.

The correct sentence would therefore be:

Even India is feeling the pinch and it has increasingly weighed on business confidence.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.
