    A ABCD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B ABCE Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C BCDE Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D ABDE Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    As the error lies in part C. Replace DISAPPROVING with DISAPPROVAL. We need a noun to describe the reaction of the province leader to what she saw at the college. The noun form of the verb DISAPPROVE is DISAPPROVAL, which is correct. DISAPPROVING is the adjective form and thus, incorrect.
