Option 2 : B
The error lies in part B of the sentence. Hence, the answer is option 2.
The verb 'warrant' means 'to justify or necessitate' and it must be followed by any one of the articles 'a', 'an' or 'the'. This is because the verb must correspond to a noun (in this case, a death penalty) and the noun must be preceded by an article. Option B uses the word 'for' which is incorrect and must be removed from the sentence.
Thus, the correct sentence is, 'The murderer's crime warranted an instant death penalty'.
