Answer 1

Answer: (C)

(C)

Part C of the sentence contains the error. Modal verbs like 'might' can only be followed by the bare infinitive or the base/root form of the next verb. Hence 'has' should be replaced with 'have'.

Therefore option C is the correct answer. Options A, B and D are incorrect because the rest of the sentence is grammatically correct. Option E is incorrect because there is an error in the entire sentence.
