✅ Correct Option: 4
- Incorrect. 'It's' is a contraction for 'it is' or 'it has,' not the possessive form needed here.
- Incorrect. 'Lias' appears to be a typographical error, and the word order disrupts the flow of the sentence.
- Incorrect. 'Having' introduces unnecessary complexity and changes the tense inappropriately.
- Correct. 'Its economy has depended' uses the correct possessive form and maintains the appropriate tense and structure for the sentence.
Grammar Rule: Use 'its' for possession and maintain consistent tense and sentence structure.
