    Solution

    (c) The sentence talks of tasks that classical computers are not capable of performing. (c) best conveys the meaning, which makes it the right answer.

The highlighted phrase is incorrect as it uses the singular verb IS in place of the plural ARE while the subject TASKS is plural.
