    C Commands wide respect among Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Command wide respect among Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No replacement required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    (d) The highlighted part is incorrect as the plural form of verb 'command' should be used to agree with the noun 'surveys'. Also, 'along' is the wrong preposition to be used here. A is incorrect as the preposition 'among' should have been used. B is incorrect as the adverb 'widely' cannot qualify the noun 'respect'; we need the adjective 'wide' here. C is incorrect as the plural form of verb 'command' should be used to agree with the noun 'surveys'. Option D is the right answer.
