    Solution

    A is incorrect at its place. The past participle form of the verb is correct there. So, A-C should be interchanged. B and D are correct at their respective places. A press statement issued by the ministry said that Mr. Shah held extensive discussions on various issues related to national security including counter terrorism, threat from extremism, cyber security, border security and threats from cross border elements to the integrity and stability of the nation.
