The correct answer is: C. dispatched, control.
A fact-finding mission is a group of people who are sent to a particular place to gather information about a specific issue. In this case, the fact-finding mission was sent to India to gather information about the French group’s potential investment in the country. The mission’s findings strongly recommended that the French group should go it alone, and not hand over control of the investment to an Indian partner.
The other options are incorrect because they do not make sense in the context of the sentence. For example, option A, “constituted, authority,” does not make sense because a fact-finding mission does not “constitute” anything. Option B, “organized, papers,” does not make sense because a fact-finding mission does not “organize” papers. Option D, “sponsored, power,” does not make sense because a fact-finding mission is not “sponsored” by anyone and does not have any “power.”
