- AError in part (a)
- BError in part (b)
- CError in part (c)
- DNo error
Explanation
The correct compound noun for a person who establishes an institution is "founding director"; "foundational" means relating to a foundation or basis and does not describe a person. The error is in part (b); (a) and (c) are fine. Hence (B).
