    A consensus Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B necessity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C necessity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D stability Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All are correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The error in this sentence lies in the word “concensus.” This spelling is incorrect. The correct spelling is “consensus,” which means general agreement among a group of people. The incorrect form “concensus” is a common spelling trap but has no meaning in standard English. All other highlighted words in the sentence are correctly spelt and contextually appropriate. “Necessity” means something that is essential or required, “prolonged” means continuing for a long time, and “stability” refers to the state of being steady or not subject to sudden change. Therefore, option (a) is the correct answer.
