Solution

The correct option is B

is that though they are honest and committed bunch of politicians but are


The 2nd fragment has serious errors. First is that the pronoun 'they' has no proper antecedent. The antecedent seems to be the Indian Left - which is to be treated a singular. The next error is that the collective will begin with an article. Hence, 'they are an honest and committed bunch of' will be correct. The other fragments have no problems.
