Correct option is A
Correct answer: (A) went on to become an important line of
Original sentence
The digital marketplace went on to become an importance line of business for the smartphone maker.
Why the highlighted part is incorrect
The highlighted part is “an importance line of”.
The error is in the word “importance”.
Reason:
Importance is a noun, while the sentence needs an adjective to describe the noun “line.”
Here, we need an adjective before “line of business.”
Correct adjective: important
Wrong:
an importance line
Correct:
an important line
Example:
She plays an important role in the company.
Here, important correctly describes the noun role.
Same rule applies here.
Correct sentence
The digital marketplace went on to become an important line of business for the smartphone maker.
Example
Online sales became an important source of income for the company.

“Important” is the correct adjective needed before “line.”
The sentence becomes grammatically correct and meaningful.
(B) did went on to become an important line of
Incorrect
After did, we use the base form of the verb.
Wrong:
did went
Correct:
did go
So this structure is grammatically wrong.
(C) went on to became an important line of

“is went” is grammatically incorrect because two tense forms are wrongly combined.
This structure is not valid.
