C Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct answer as this part of the sentence is grammatically incorrect. The sentence compares the ‘grant given to the boxing team’ to ‘the hockey team’ itself, not the grant given to them. In this sentence, adding ‘that of’ in the sentence will make the comparison clear. The correct sentence will be, “The committee questioned the grant given to the boxing team compared to that of the hockey team”.
