c

d

e

No correction required

Answer : Option C
Explanation :

In the highlighted phrase usage of ’has’ is incorrect instead it should be ’have’ because when two or more subjects are joined with ’and’ plural verb is used. Also, articles ’a’ and ’the’ can be used here interchangeably. Hence, the correct answer choice would be option 3.
