In case no improvement is needed, choose the alternative that indicates 'No improvement'. While the farmers are struggling to cope with severe drought, crop companies are whining ways to breed crops twice in drought. Correct Answer Exploring 

Correct option - 2

Clearly, given bold word is followed after 'are'. Thus, V1+ing should be used. Hence, option 3 is clearly eliminated. Also, a company can not produce/supply ways to breed/reproduce crops. Hence, option 1 is eliminated.

Let's find out the meanings of the following words :-

Exploring - Searching for resources.

Whining - Complaining in a childish way.

Clearly, there is scarcity of water in drought that crops can not be grown. Now, crop companies work is to produce crops, so it's not possible to use whine here. Hence, option 4 is eliminated. Thus, option 2 i.e. exploring is the correct answer.
