Correct Answer :

Option D

A

Solution :

The correct answer is Option A.

Explanation:
In part (A) of the sentence, the word "hasty" is used incorrectly. Here, "hasty" is an adjective trying to modify the past participle "conducted" (which acts as an adjective describing the noun "experiments").

To modify an adjective or a participle, we must use an adverb rather than an adjective. Therefore, the adjective "hasty" should be replaced by the adverb "hastily".

Corrected Sentence:
"Some researchers do not favor hastily conducted experiments because they do not like to rely on findings that have not been thoroughly verified."
