a) will be classified between

b) will be classified by

c) can be classified into

d) can classify into

e) No correction required

Answer: (c)

In the given sentence, the phrase printed in bold is ‘can be classified by’. When we try to understand the real intention of writing the given sentence we find that the writer's intention is not to write a sentence in passive voice, rather his intention is to focus on the classification of problems faced by the common man.

The verb ‘classify’ takes the preposition ‘into’ after it. Therefore options (a) and (c) are ruled out. The given option (d) cannot be correct because instead of ‘can be classified’, ‘can classify’ is written. Now, we are left with option (b). This option is absolutely correct.
