(I) China has had a remarkable period of growth shifted
(II) from a centrally planned to a market based economy
(III) and today it has been an upper middle income country

Options

A. Only II
B. Only III
C. Both I and III
D. Both II and III

Answer

A

Explanation

The error lies only in II of the sentence where the preposition 'upon' is incorrect and needs to be replaced with 'to'. 'Upon' is more formal term for on, expecially in abstract senses. Things are shifted from one state to anotherer. Thus 'to' is the correct preposition here.
