Explanation:

Correct Option 2: includes

Grammatically possible — “This includes working…” is a standard structure.

However, we need to check what “This” refers to.

Look at the sentence before:

"They work within multidisciplinary health-care teams (2) ______ a variety of hospital and community-based sites. This (3) ______ working with medical..."

So, "This" refers to the working within healthcare teams across various sites.

In that context, it makes sense to say:

“This includes working with medical, nursing, and allied health professionals…”

This is a complete and grammatically sound sentence.
