Replacement for (i) given in the passage:

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The phrase "a resolution sponsor by India" is grammatically incorrect because "sponsor" is a noun here but the sentence requires a past participle verb form to describe the resolution.

2. The correct past participle form is "sponsored by" which correctly modifies "resolution" indicating it was supported by India and two other countries.

3. Hence, option (b) "sponsored by" is the appropriate replacement.

**Answer:** (b) sponsored by
