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

The error is in part (C) 'with the yellow doors'. When using 'contrast' to show differences between colors or things, the correct preposition is 'to' not 'with'. It should be 'contrast to the yellow doors'. 'Contrast with' is used when comparing similarities, but 'contrast to' for differences.
