Explanation:

Let's break down the sentence and the options:

- Original Sentence: As successive central and state administrations have (A) found, curbing illegal migration between (B) coordinated action requires (C) India and its neighbours, first at the political and then at (D) the security level.

- Issue: The phrase "curbing illegal migration between coordinated action requires India and its neighbours" seems off. The placement of (B) "coordinated action" and (C) "between India and its neighbours" needs adjustment for logical flow.

Option Analysis:

- Option 1 (B-C): Swap "coordinated action" with "between India and its neighbours".

- New Sentence: As successive central and state administrations have found, curbing illegal migration coordinated action between India and its neighbours requires, first at the political and then at the security level.

- Option 2 (A-B): Swap "found" with "between India and its neighbours".

- New Sentence: As successive central and state administrations have between India and its neighbours, curbing illegal migration found coordinated action requires, first at the political and then at the security level.

- Option 3 (C-D): Swap "requires" with "curbing illegal migration".

- New Sentence: As successive central and state administrations have found, requires illegal migration between coordinated action curbing India and its neighbours, first at the political and then at the security level.

- Option 4 (A-D): Swap "found" with "the security level".

- New Sentence: As successive central and state administrations have security level, curbing illegal migration between coordinated action found India and its neighbours, first at the political and then at the requires.

- Option 5 (B-D): Swap "coordinated action" with "the security level".

- New Sentence: As successive central and state administrations have found, curbing illegal migration between the security level requires India and its neighbours, first at the political and then at coordinated action.

The correct choice is:

? Option 1 (B-C): The sentence reads logically when these two are swapped, placing the "coordinated action" logically in the context of requiring cooperation between India and its neighbours.
