  1. AThe Judge heard the arguments
  2. Bof the lawyers and found
  3. Chat the boy was innocent.
  4. DNo error.

Explanation

There is no error in the sentence. ‘Heard the arguments of the lawyers’ and ‘found that the boy was innocent’ are both correct constructions (the printed ‘hat’ in part (c) is a scanning typo for ‘that’). Subject-verb agreement and the noun clause after ‘found’ are all in order. Hence the answer is (d), No error.
