    B B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D E Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In B, replace NEWLY with NEW, as the former is an adverb and the latter is an adjective. We need an adjective here to modify the noun TECHNOLOGIES. Thus, (b) is the right answer.
