Correct Answer :

Option A

A

A

Solution :

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step Explanation:

1. Identify the subject of the sentence:
The subject of the sentence is "The company". In standard English, "company" is a singular collective noun.

2. Analyze pronoun-antecedent agreement:
Since "The company" is singular, any pronoun or possessive adjective that refers back to it must also be singular to maintain grammatical agreement.

3. Examine Part (A):
Part (A) reads: "The company is proud of their".
Here, the plural possessive pronoun "their" is incorrectly used to refer to the singular noun "company". To be grammatically correct, it should be replaced with the singular possessive pronoun "its".

4. Verify the remaining parts:
- Part (B) correctly uses the singular pronoun "it" ("and it appreciates") to refer to the company.
- Part (D) correctly uses the singular possessive pronoun "its" ("from its dedicated staff") to refer to the company.
These parts confirm that the sentence intends to treat "the company" as a singular entity throughout.

Therefore, the grammatical error lies in part (A).
