    A A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In (A), replace the preposition "on" with "at." We use "at" when referring to a goal or objective. In this case, "aim at" is the correct phrase, as it conveys the idea of striving for or focusing on a particular result. The sentence would then read: "The plan aims at reducing industrial emissions, but critics argue that it does not address transportation-related pollution sufficiently."
