{'global financial crisis': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'foreign borrowings': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'more foreign banks': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'full capital account convertibility': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'immunity': [0, 0, 2, 4], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'policies': [1, 1, 1, 7]}

The correct answer is a.

If another global financial crisis were to happen, depending on short-term foreign borrowings would make India more vulnerable to external shocks. Opening up to more foreign banks and maintaining full capital account convertibility may increase capital inflows, but it would also increase the risk of capital outflows during times of crisis. Therefore, avoiding short-term foreign borrowings would be the most likely action/policy to give some immunity to India.
