If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d).

- A(a)
- B(b)
- C(c)
- DNo error (d)
Explanation
Part (b) contains the error: 'One the most revered member' is wrong on two counts — it needs 'of' ('one of the most') and the plural 'members', since 'one of the most + superlative' is always followed by a plural noun. Parts (a) and (c) are grammatically sound. Hence (B) is correct.
