    Solution

    Explanation: The adjective "smart" is already in its comparative form ("smarter"), so using "more" before it is redundant. It should simply be "She is smarter than her colleagues." The corrected sentence is: "She is smarter than her colleagues when it comes to solving complex problems, which makes her an invaluable asset to the team."
