B Correct answer
Explanation

The error is in part (2): 'of amending currently policies'. The adverb 'currently' is incorrectly placed - it should modify the verb, not the adjective. It should be 'of amending current policies' (adjective modifying noun) or 'currently amending policies' (if emphasizing ongoing action). In this context, 'current policies' (policies currently in effect) makes more sense.
