Solution

The correct options are
A lost
C has
The errors in the given headlines are Option A and and Option C. We omit auxiliary verbs from a sentence while writing it as a headline for brevity and so 'has' should have been omitted in the headline. An immediate past event is written as present in the headline so instead of 'lost' we should have used 'loses' in the headline. The correct headline would be ' Man loses 10 pounds in two weeks'. Option B and Option D stand invalid as errors in the given context.
