Explanation

The sentence 'We are now facing stiff competing from foreign companies' contains an error in part (B). 'Competing' is a verb/participle, but the sentence requires a noun here. The correct form is 'competition.' Part (A) 'stiff' is correct as an adjective modifying the noun. Parts (C) and (D) are grammatically sound. The error is specifically in word choice/part of speech.
