- A(a)
- B(b)
- C(c)
- D(d) No error
Explanation
The singular article 'an' with the adjective 'essential' must modify a singular noun, but part (b) gives the plural 'modes'. It should be 'an essential mode of communication'. The number disagreement is in part (b). Hence the answer is (b), matching the official key.
