Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The error lies in part A of the sentence.
The phrasal verb "woke on" is incorrect in this context. The correct phrasal verb for emerging from sleep is woke up.

Therefore, the corrected sentence should be: "He woke up, rising to a sitting position and rubbed his eyes briskly."
