Answer 1

The correct option is A has set up

The given sentence talks about 'some colleges' having set up tutorial groups for closer relationships between professors and students.

From the underlined words in the sentence, 'has set up' is incorrect because 'colleges' is plural and should be followed by 'have' which is used in plural cases and not 'has' which is used in singular cases.

So, the correct answer is option A).

The other options B, C and D are correctly used in the sentence given.
