C) in that several attempts at revising corporate strategies have failed to correct them

D) that several attempts to revise corporate strategies have failed to correct

OAD

My Doubt : OA has no Object for the verb CORRECT right? So how come is this correct ?

Why option E is wrong?

Please explain and correct me if I am wrong.

What are being corrected are managerial blunders. Maybe simplifying will help.

managerial blunders that attempts have failed to correct

Given what I just said about the OA, you can see that the them at the end of E is redundant.
