D.

No error

Correct option is C

Option (c) contains an error.
Error Explanation: The phrase “led to his squad” is incorrect.

Correct Sentence: He had led his squad of commandos towards the target of a group of houses when he spotted enemy soldiers hiding in the houses.
Grammatical Rule Used:
→ Causative and active voice structure of past perfect tense.
