Choices

6

Choice-A

Choice A is incorrect. "He" is unclear. It doesn’t match “the team,” which is a group, not one male person. This creates pronoun confusion.

Wrong No change

7

Choice-B

Choice B is incorrect. “Their” is plural, but “the team” is a singular collective noun. Using “their” causes a mismatch in pronoun number.

Wrong their

8

Choice-C

Choice C is correct. "It" clearly refers to "the team," which is a singular group. This provides proper pronoun clarity and agreement.

Correct it

9

Choice-D

Choice D is incorrect. Adding “thus” changes the sentence meaning and tone unnecessarily. Also, “thus it had been successful” is awkward and unclear.

Wrong thus it
