    A c Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B a Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C b Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D d Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The error in the sentence lies in the incorrect use of "their".  The subject of the sentence is "a leadership", which is singular, so it should be followed by the singular possessive pronoun "its" rather than "their". "their diplomatic and institutional reach abroad" should be "its diplomatic and institutional reach abroad".
