Error Identification: 

Identifier	Fix
Underlined modifier “that included” incorrectly modifies tenure	Modifiers
Variations of different modifier types in the options	Modifiers

Explanation:

In the sentence, the underlined modifier ‘that included…’ seems to modify ‘tenure’, making no logical sense. The modifier should start with a verb+ing participial form to modify the preceding clause.

A – Modifier ‘that included…’ incorrectly modifies ‘tenure’, making no logical sense. Hence, eliminated.

B – Modifier ‘which…’ incorrectly modifies ‘tenure’, making no logical sense. ‘Maintenance of’ is not parallel with ‘organizing’ and ‘generating’. Hence, eliminated.

C – Uses the correct participial modifier with verb+ing form, correctly modifying the preceding clause. This is the correct answer.

D – Modifier ‘some of which…’ incorrectly modifies ‘tenure’, making no logical sense. Hence, eliminated.

E – Incorrect usage of the word ‘being’. ‘Maintenance of’ is not parallel with ‘organizing’ and ‘generating’. Hence, eliminated.
