• B. with charging his superiors by ignoring
• C. by charging his superiors after ignored
• D. for charging his superiors on ignoring
• E. No correction required

Answer 1

The correct option is B with charging his superiors by ignoring

'Controversy' should be followed by the preposition 'with'. So, (b) is suitable usage.
E.g. The minister fell in controversy with a statement that hurt sentiments.
