The bigger a group the less are the chances of an individual (get) the requisite attention when necessary.

  1. A
    getting
  2. B
    to get
  3. C
    got
  4. D
    no improvement

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In the phrase "chances of an individual (get)", the preposition "of" requires a gerund (V
1

+ing) object.

Hence, "get" must be changed to "getting". The construction "chances of an individual getting..." uses the noun/pronoun followed by a gerund functioning perfectly in the context.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
