(C)/ No error (D) Correct Answer A
The error is in part A of the sentence.
‘been’ must be replaced with ‘being’.
‘been’ is the past participle form of ‘be’, while ‘being is the ‘present participle’. ‘been’ is always used with ‘have’, but ‘being’ is never used with ‘have’. Also, always ‘being’ is used after prepositions and not ‘been’.
‘after’ is a preposition, thus ‘being’ must follow it.
Correct sentence- ‘Modi said that after being voted to power in 2014, the government has focused on reviving irrigation projects.’
