Solution
The correct option is D D
Let's examine the sentence "His efforts will bring him more success than your." In this sentence, the rate of success is being compared between two persons with reference to the effort put by them. The two persons are indicated by two pronouns, 'him' and 'your', but 'your' is a possessive adjective. So, the appropriate pronoun would be 'yours'. Hence, part D of the sentence contains the error. Thus, option D is correct.
