Read the sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The letter of that part is the answer. If the given sentence is grammatically and contextually correct, then choose option “No error” as your answer response. (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any).

The UGC draft regulations have (A)/ sparked concerns in southern states (B)/, highlight regional disparities and the need (C)/ for a more inclusive policy framework. (D)

Correct option is C

Correct answer: (c) C
Error explanation:
In part (C), "highlight" should be "highlighting" to maintain parallelism with "have sparked" in part (A). The verb should be in its present participle (-ing) form to correctly follow the helping verb "have."
Correct sentence:
The UGC draft regulations have sparked concerns in southern states, highlighting regional disparities and the need for a more inclusive policy framework.
