    C nor the employees were Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D were implemented last week Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The error is in part (D). The correct form should be "which was implemented last week." This is because the subject "policy" is singular, so the pronoun "which" should also be followed by the singular verb "was."
