Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The error is in part (C). The pronoun 'their' is incorrect because 'category' is a singular noun. The correct pronoun should be 'its' or 'the' to refer back to the singular antecedent 'category'. Parts (A), (B), and (D) are grammatically correct.
