Correct Answer :

Option B

D

Solution :

The correct option is D.

Explanation:
Segment (D) contains a grammatical error in the phrase "impacting every components of the system".

The quantifier/determiner "every" must always be followed by a singular countable noun. In segment (D), "every" is incorrectly paired with the plural noun "components".

Correction:
To correct the error, the plural noun "components" should be changed to its singular form "component" (or alternatively, "every" can be replaced with "all").

Corrected Sentence:
"Adapting to the new software has required the implementation of highly complex and detailed regulations for the department, impacting every component of the system."
