    No Error

    Correct option is C

    Part C contains an error. The verb phrase "being bear" is incorrect. The correct form should be "being borne," which is the past participle of "bear" used in passive constructions.
    The correct sentence should be: "The responsibilities of these complex negotiations are currently being borne by a team of experienced diplomats and legal experts."
    Rule: In passive constructions, use the correct past participle form of the verb. Here, "borne" is the correct past participle of "bear" in the passive voice.
