Explanation:

- Let's examine the options to fill in the blank No.1 in the passage. The correct verb tense is crucial here.

- "has resulted" (Option 1) is in the present perfect tense. It's used to indicate that the action has occurred at some unspecified time before now and is relevant to the present. It fits well with "this year" in the passage.

- "have resulted" (Option 2) uses the plural form, which doesn't fit with the singular subject "The surge."

- "is resulted" (Option 3) and "is resulting" (Option 4) are incorrect because "result" in these contexts is not typically used in the passive or continuous present form.

The correct answer is:

- "has resulted" (Option 1)
