      D d Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E e Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The issue is tense consistency + subject agreement. Subject: → “market trends” (plural) Verb: → “has significantly impacted” (singular) ; incorrect  Correct: → “have significantly impacted” Key Rule: Plural subject → plural verb Also, sentence is in past context, so correct usage: → “had significantly impacted” (even better stylistically) Thus, part (d) is incorrect.
