Solution

The correct option is B
will not gel into agrarian Chinese society.

'will not gel' into is non-standard and has no meaning. 'gel' as a verb means to solidify or set. 'Gel with' is generally used colloquially. In a formal text, it is an error. The second error is in the tense ‘will not’ should be changed to ‘would not'.
