    D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The error lies in part B. The noun "substitution" takes the preposition "for" (e.g., the substitution of cream for milk). Alternatively, if we use "instead of", the word "substitution" becomes redundant (e.g., Using cream instead of milk). To correct it while retaining the noun, "instead of" should be changed to "for". Thus, the correct sentence is: "The substitution of cream for milk in the recipe makes for a rich dessert."
