    Solution

    In sentence A, 'publications' should have been used, as the plural form 'are' follows. In sentence B, 'upgrade' should have been used in place of 'upgraded', as 'to' should be followed by the base form of verb. Sentence C is grammatically correct and meaningful. In sentence D, the preposition 'to' should be used after 'adherence' and not 'on' as 'adherence' takes with it the preposition 'to'.
