Explanation:

Correct answer is (a). The use of article ‘the’ is incorrect as the BOP crisis is a general term and not specific to a nations. Fragment B is incorrect due to the use of ‘were’ instead of ‘where’. Fragment C is incorrect due to use of ‘are’ instead of ‘is’ while the currency is singular.

Hence, option A is correct.
