A Correct answer
Explanation

The error is in part (A) 'He ate'. With the time marker 'since yesterday', we need present perfect tense to show an action starting in the past and continuing to the present. It should be 'He has eaten nothing since yesterday'. Present simple 'ate' is incorrect with 'since'.
