D Correct answer
Explanation

The error is in part (4): 'companies are invested in India'. 'Are invested' is passive voice meaning someone has put money into the companies. The context requires active voice - companies are currently doing the investing. Should be 'companies are investing in India' (present continuous for ongoing action) or 'companies have invested in India' (present perfect for completed action with present relevance).
