C Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct answer as this part of the sentence is grammatically incorrect. The sentence compares the ‘leadership skills of Mr. Lal’ to ‘Mr. Shyam’ himself, not his leadership skills. In this sentence, adding ‘that of’ in the sentence will make the comparison clear. The correct sentence will be, “The news reader questioned the leadership skills of Mr. Lal compared to that of Mr. Shyam”.
