Solution

The correct option is A (B)
Part B of the sentence contains the error. 'Wry' needs to be replaced by 'very' because 'wry' means satirical or mocking and it does not give ant meaning in this specific sentence. "I am really very sorry to learn..." is the correct usage as 'very' gives more emphasis in the sentence.
So, option B is correct as it contains the error and the other options are not because they are grammatically correct. Option E is not correct because the entire sentence does have an error.
