Solution

The correct option is D c
Part c of the sentence is incorrect because 'greater' is in the comparative degree of adjective. We generally use comparative degree when we want to compare two things. However since Wright is being compared by his colleagues with all modern architects, the superlative degree must be used. The correct usage would be 'as the greatest of all modern architects'. Hence option C is the correct answer.
Options A, B and D are incorrect because these parts have no errors in them.
