    C remained untraceable to this day Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D A prime suspect in the 2013 murder of anti-superstition Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No Error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The usage of conjunction "despite of" is grammatically incorrect which should be replaced with "despite" to make the sentence meaningfully and grammatically correct as despite doesn't take the preposition "of" followed with it.
