Explanation
The plural subject "listings ... that had been proffered by him" correctly takes the plural verb "were selected". The phrase "after meticulous care and discernment with regard to taste and preference" is idiomatic and unobjectionable — selections are routinely made "after" careful consideration. No article, preposition or agreement error occurs in (a), (b) or (c). The sentence is error-free, so the answer is (d).
