30 sec

A - " of there being" incorrect

B - "hypothesis of mental functions" is wrong, changes meaning

C- correct

D-"which is that" -wordy

E -"is......is that there are" --grammatically incorrect

Hypothesis that.. is the correct usage here....

In choice (D) & (E)... usage of " which" is wrong here. It is wordy.
