- AError in part (a)
- BError in part (b)
- CError in part (c)
- DNo error
Explanation
"Lead to" must be followed by a noun or gerund, not a bare verb: the sentence needs "will lead to escaping suffering" (or "escape from suffering"). Part (c) as printed is ungrammatical; (a) and (b) are fine. Hence (C).
