    A The officer as well as Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B the assistants absented Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C themselves from the office Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D No Error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Replace ā€˜themselves’ by ā€˜himself’. As the main subject is ā€˜The officer’ which is a singular noun and by sub-verb agreement rule, nouns/pronouns, connected with ā€˜with’, ā€˜along-with’, ā€˜together with’ ā€˜as well as’, ā€˜like’, ā€˜unlike’, ā€˜besides’ etc. take the verb after them according to the first noun. Hence option ā€˜C’ has the error.
