D Correct answer
Explanation

Deliberate means intentional or done on purpose. The sentence contrasts the error being intentional versus being an oversight (unintentional mistake), so 'not deliberate' is the correct meaning. 'Devious' means deceitful, 'dejected' means sad, 'detached' means disconnected, and 'destined' means meant to happen.
