    Solution

    The correct phrase should be "small part" (singular form) instead of "small parts" (plural form) to maintain subject-verb agreement. “Has been” will be used instead of “have been” as only a small part is being used here The correct word in part (D) should be "protocols" instead of "protocol" to maintain consistency
