A sentence/part of the sentence is emboldened. Five alternatives are given to the emboldened part which will improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative and choose the option corresponding to it. In case no improvement is needed, click the button corresponding to "No improvement required". The possibility of failure is the biggest deterrent to the trying avoiding risks?

Option 5 : Those avoiding

The correct answer is 'those avoiding'

• In the given sentence, the usage of 'the trying avoiding' is incorrect Instead use 'those avoiding'
• 'To' is a preposition and after the preposition, we need to write a prepositional object if you carefully see the options none of the options carry the correct noun for the preposition 'to'
• 'Those' is a determiner here which is used for the gerund 'avoiding'.
• The gerund is a noun and it can be a prepositional object.

So the correct sentence is: The possibility of failure is the biggest deterrent to those avoiding risks.
