- D4
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The error is in part (2) of the sentence.
The word "distributed" is a past participle acting as a verb/adjective here. To modify a verb or an adjective, we require an adverb instead of an adjective.
"Fair" is an adjective.
"Fairly" is the adverb form.
Hence, "fair distributed" should be replaced with "fairly distributed".
Therefore, the correct option is B.
