A
its effect on their size is not likely to be quite significant
💡 Explanation:
The most obvious error in all options is the wrong usage of ‘unlikely’ and ‘not likely’. ‘Unlikely’ used in options (1), (2) and (4) makes the occurrence of an event improbable whereas what we want to convey is that the effect of the measures taken is not going to be significant enough which gets reflected clearly in ‘not likely’. Options (2), (3) and (4) are also incorrect because of the wrong usage of ‘their’. Hence (5).
