    A A-C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B A-D & B-C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C B-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D A-B & C-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E The sentence is correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In sentence (i), "reinforced" (A) does not fit with "analysts...long-term investors." Instead, it would be correct to say "analysts suggest" (D) for this context. Additionally, "activity footprint" (B) does not make sense, but "expanding footprint" (C) does, given the renewable sector context. Similarly, 'selling activity' and 'reinforced the berish' are correct After interchanging A and D and B and C, the sentences will become correct in all aspects. Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
