Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
The sentence contains an error in the use of the article before 'organic necessity'.
The word 'organic' begins with a vowel sound, so the indefinite article 'an' should be used instead of 'the'.
The correct phrase should be 'an organic necessity' to maintain grammatical accuracy and idiomatic usage.
The rest of the sentence is grammatically correct and idiomatic.
