    C A and C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D A and D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In part A: The error is in the phrase 'having been notified'."Being" is incorrect here. The correct form is "having been notified", which is the proper past participle construction.In part C: "Inoperation" is not a standard word in this context. "Inoperative" is the correct adjective, meaning "not functioning or not in effect."Hence, the correct sentence will be- "Despite the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) having been notified in August 2023, its provisions remain inoperative due to the delay in the notification of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Rules."
