    Solution

    C – Since the action has already happened, past tense of the verb should be used. Hence, ‘did not violate’ is the correct usage. D – Since it is a reported speech, the subject should be in third person. Thus, instead ‘our’, ‘their’ should be used. So the correct statement would be On Wednesday, Facebook India’s head told the Parliamentary Committee on Information Technology that contents did not violate their social media policies and didn’t necessitate a ban.
