"awareness about " or "awareness of"

by sakys » Sun Aug 20, 2017 9:13 am
...subject is the singular "lobbying effort". So,plural verb "have" is incorrect.

awareness about - to raise information about something
e.g. raise awareness about safety issues on roads in India

awareness of - for putting knowledge about something
The students have little awareness of regulations

So choice D is correct
