Option 2 : B

Part B of the sentence contains error.

‘its’ must be replaced with ‘it’.

‘its’ is a ‘determiner’ which denotes ‘association with a previously mentioned thing’, while ‘it’ is a ‘pronoun’ which ‘refers to a thing already mentioned’.

In the given sentence, since seats contested by BJP are under consideration, therefore ‘it’ must be used as BJP is being referred to.

Correct sentence- ‘In the 2009 Lok Sabha polls, the BJP won just one of the 141 seats it contested in these five states.’
