Model Answer

The blank should be filled with summarizes.

"Enclosed is the report that summarizes the study conducted on the impact of climate change on crop yield in the region."

Explanation

The relative clause refers to "the report" (singular, third person), so the verb "summarize" must take the third-person singular present tense form — summarizes. Since the letter is formal and the report is a present fact, simple present tense is correct here.
