EnglishSpotting Errors
- Aemphasised on the importance
- Bemphasised over the importance
- Cemphasised upon the importance

Explanation
Emphasise is a transitive verb that takes a direct object, so emphasised the importance is already correct. Adding on, over or upon after emphasised is ungrammatical. Hence no improvement, option D, is the answer.
