Explanation:

Correct Answer is (d).The original sentence is erroneous.
Reason: The word ‘lex’ means ‘a system or body of laws’ and is unsuitable in this sentence. The correct word to be used here is ‘lax’ which means ‘not sufficiently strict, severe, or careful.’
Moreover, the simple present tense of the word ‘mean’ should be used in this sentence. Hence, ‘means’ should be used in place of ‘meaning’ so as to make the sentence contextually correct.
Among the given choices, only option D replaces the given bold part most appropriately.
The sentence after replacement becomes:
Although vigilance mechanisms exist, lax enforcement means that wrongdoing is rarely penalized.Option D is hence the correct answer.
