    B have ensured that the two nations compete Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C has ensured that the two nations competing Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D have ensuring that the two nations compete Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E no correction required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The original phrase "have ensured that the two nations competing" contains a grammatical error because "competing" needs to be changed to "compete" to create a correct verb form that agrees with the subject "nations." Additionally, the verb "have ensured" indicates that the action is ongoing and aligns correctly with the plural subject "nations."
