      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 e Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The subject “committee” is a collective noun and in formal grammatical usage it is treated as singular when acting as a single unit. Therefore, the pronoun referring to it should also be singular. So instead of “their decision”, it should be “its decision.”
