    B (b) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C (e) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D (c) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E (d) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    “failed complying with” should be replaced with “failed to comply with” because "fail" requires an infinitive verb to indicate what action was not performed. The corrected sentence is: The apex court voiced its dissatisfaction regarding the implementation of GRAP IV measures, noting that despite its earlier orders, the Delhi government and police have failed to comply with the provisions outlined in GRAP Stage IV.
