  4. are one which given

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: is one which has given

Explanation: The correct answer is B.✅ The original sentence uses the verb "have", which is incorrect because the subject “one” is singular. It should be followed by “has given” to maintain subject-verb agreement. “Which has given” is also the correct relative clause for the present perfect tense. Correct sentence: Among applied sciences, medicine is one which has given man some power over death.
