A Correct answer
Explanation

The error is in part (1): 'Inspite that organisations are aware'. The correct phrase is 'In spite of the fact that' or 'Despite the fact that'. 'Inspite that' is grammatically incorrect - 'Inspite' should be 'In spite' (two words) and requires 'of'. Alternatively, 'Although' or 'Even though' would work.
