The PMLA, 2002, goals to prevent money picking and provides for the annex of property obtained through or involved in money laundering, among with addressing related issues.

Explanation

The correct answer is (d): aims, laundering, confiscation, along. Original Sentence: "The PMLA, 2002, goals to prevent money picking and provides for the annex of property obtained through or involved in money laundering, among with addressing related issues." Analyzing the highlighted words: 1. "Goals": o The word "goals" here is a noun, but the sentence requires a verb that indicates intent or purpose. The correct verb should be "aims" because "aims" means having a specific target or purpose, which fits the context. 2. "Picking": o The phrase "money picking" does not make sense in the context of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The correct term should be "laundering," which refers to the illegal process of making large amounts of money generated by a criminal activity appear to have come from a legitimate source. 3. "Annex": o The word "annex" is incorrect here. The correct term should be "confiscation," which means the action of seizing property, especially by the government, which is appropriate in the context of dealing with illegally acquired property. 4. "Among": o The phrase "among with" is incorrect. The correct phrase should be "along with," which means in addition to something else, making it grammatically and contextually correct. Now, considering all these corrections, let's look at the options: • (a) plans, cleaning, acquisition, amidst: Incorrect because "plans," "cleaning," and "amidst" are incorrect replacements. • (b) attempts, purging, seizure, besides: Incorrect because "purging" and "besides" do not fit the context. • (c) intends, bleeping, looting, amongst: Incorrect because "bleeping" and "looting"are not contextually appropriate. • (d) aims, laundering, confiscation, along: Correct. All the words are appropriate replacements in terms of meaning and context. Corrected sentence: The PMLA, 2002, aims to prevent money laundering and provides for the confiscation of property obtained through or involved in money laundering, along with addressing related issues.
