Solution :

The correct option that contains a grammatical error is: Veteran cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle has been speaking openly for the very first time for his controversial removal from the commentary panel during the IPL.


Explanation and Logical Breakdown:

1. Grammatical Error Identification:
In sentence (1), the preposition "for" in the phrase "speaking openly for the very first time for his controversial removal" is contextually and grammatically incorrect.
The verb "speaking" or "speaking openly" when referring to a subject/topic should be followed by prepositions like "about" or "on" (e.g., "speaking openly... about his controversial removal").

2. Corrected Sentence:
"Veteran cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle has been speaking openly for the very first time about his controversial removal from the commentary panel during the IPL."

3. Analysis of Other Options:
- "The auditor challenged the figures presented in the financial statement and maintained that the projections were inaccurate." — This sentence is grammatically correct and contextually coherent.
- "The petition demanding restoration of the original boundary was dismissed by a Division Bench of the High Court." — This sentence uses proper syntax, voice, and terminology.
- "German automaker Volkswagen unveiled the ID.7, an advanced electric variant of its flagship sedan lineup." — This sentence is grammatically sound and error-free.

Therefore, the sentence containing the grammatical/prepositional error is the first option.
