IMO B

Meet and facilitate are parallel

Also, "To facilitate" is acceptable

It can't be B

The subject 'computer software' is singular

so 'has' should be used instead of have..


Am i Missing something?

Please correct me if i am wrong...

even if you missed 'will', u gotta keep the idiom parallel and need 'have' in the correct answer, which is only done by B.

underline the stem for god's sake!!!

Niraj plz chek the link provided by Mals...

I agree that parallelism should be maintained w.r.t idioms but here since the sentence is in future tense it calls for a ..have as indicated in option B..

take out will(which i missed) and see whether u will get ..have or not..


Thanks
