Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) - C, D and E

  • Sentence A: Incorrect: "When it came to human relationships things can get murky."

    • The verb tenses are inconsistent. Came (past) does not match can get (present).
    • Corrected version: "When it comes to human relationships, things can get murky."
  • Sentence B: Incorrect: "Our difference background, belief and personal philosophy mean there often aren't one size fits all solutions."

    • Difference should be different to match the plural nouns.
    • Also, "background, belief, and personal philosophy" should be "backgrounds, beliefs, and personal philosophies" (plural)
    • Aren’t should be isn’t because one-size-fits-all solution is singular.
    • Corrected version: "Our different backgrounds, beliefs, and personal philosophies mean there often isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution.
