A-F, B-D and C-E form contextually correct sentences. But the errors in phrases C, D and F make the sentences grammatically incorrect.

A-F :- ‘rated’ in phrase F must be replaced with ‘rate’. We need a noun here and not verb. ‘rate’ gives the speed of something happening, which is quite apt as per the context here.

B-D :- ‘contains’ in phrase D must be replaced with ‘contained’. The event given is of past (2017), therefore the sentence must be in past tense. Verbs like ‘published’, ‘showed’ and ‘collected’ show that the sentence contains Simple Past tense. Thus, ‘contained’ is the correct verb here.

C-E :- Phrase C contains incorrect ‘pronoun’. ‘it’ must be replaced with ‘they’ because, the noun ‘studies’ is plural. ‘it’ is used for singular things.

Hence, option 5 is the correct answer.
