Step-by-step explanation of the answer:

• The error in the sentence is the possessive adjective “their”, which is plural, but the noun “company” is singular. ❌

• The other options do not identify or supply any error or correction in the sentence. ❌

  • Option B. MORE FLEXIBLE(error) FLEXIBLE(correction) is incorrect because there is no error in the adjective phrase “more flexible”, which modifies the noun “work policy”.
  • Option C . AND(error) TO(correction) is incorrect because there is no error in the conjunction “and”, which connects two clauses with parallel structure.
