It should be ‘to compete’ as it suggests action which is the requirement here. ‘At’ suggests object, but in this sentence the object is in C) segment and the qualifier in D) segment. In A) ‘She’ is the subject while the rest of the sentence is part of the predicate and when ‘aim’ is used to suggest action, we say ‘aim to do something’ as in the present case. So, ‘she aims to compete for…’ There is no error There is no error There is no error
