Correct Answer: especially


Solution : The second option is the correct answer.

The word "especially" is used to single out or emphasise a particular group within the larger category. In this context, it emphasises that among the countries where poliovirus transmission is interrupted, there is a heightened focus on those that are vulnerable, specifically those with weak public health and immunisation services.

Therefore, the correct answer is especially.
