Solution
The correct option is B Incorrect = fund, Correct = funds
'Succour' means support or assistance and it is an uncountable noun. So, option A) is incorrect. 'Funded' means provided with money for a particular purpose. It is in the past tense, while the rest of the sentence is not. Therefore, it is incorrect in the given context. The correct answer is option B) incorrect= fund, correct= funds. 'Funding' may also be used as a noun. However, since both 'funding' and 'pouring' are 'ing' words, the word 'funds' is a better option.
