    B construct multi storeyed apartments for Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C lake beds and buffer zone, and also approves the Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D land records submitted to it illegally Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All are correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    C- apartments are constructed ‘on’ lake beds, not ‘for’ lake beds. D- here, ‘approved’ is correct, because in the correct part, ie, A, the past tense is used. E- the preposition ‘it’ should be changed to ‘them’, because land records were submitted to the officials. The ACB claimed that town planning officials concerned had sanctioned a building plan to construct multi storeyed apartments on lake beds and buffer zone, and also approved the land records submitted to them illegally.
