    C.

    C

    D.

    D

    E.

    No error

    Correct option is C

    Correct Answer: C

    Explanation:

    Part (A): “Despite the team's efforts”
    Correct.

    Part (B): “to find flaws, they couldn't identify”
    Correct structure.

    Part (C): “no flaws in the project”
    This part contains the error.

    Grammar Rule: Double Negation
    A sentence should not contain two negatives when expressing a single negative idea.

    Here:

    • “couldn’t identify” = negative
    • “no flaws” = another negative

    This creates a double negative, which is incorrect in standard English.

    Correction:

    • couldn’t identify any flaws
      or
    • could identify no flaws

    Part (D): “making it a remarkable success”
    Correct participial phrase.

    Correct Sentence:
    Despite the team's efforts to find flaws, they couldn't identify any flaws in the project, making it a remarkable success.
