It is clear from the sentence structure that a continual activity is being talked about (bringing about changes in the policy). Grammatically only planning fits in the first blank.

The first blank is preceded by ‘an’, which means that the first filler must have a vowel sound. This leaves us with options A and D. Both these options have first fillers grammatically as well as contextually suitable for the statement but option D takes an upper hand because ‘unrecognizable’ in option A is incorrect for the second filler; it fails to give any meaning to the statement.

Black people played cricket at places where usually people don’t play cricket like beaches, alleys, etc. Basically, as per the sentence it seems that, the black people did not leave a single opportunity to play cricket.
