Explanation:

Let’s break it down, one piece at a time:

- Part A: “Last year the European Commission in Brussels”—Nothing wrong here. It sets the timeline and subject clearly.

- Part B: “has taken bold steps”—Here’s the snag. “Has taken” is present perfect tense, but we started the sentence with “Last year,” which pins things to the past. So we should use simple past—“took”—not “has taken.”

- Part C: “to curb Microsoft’s control”—No issues. This bit flows naturally and is correct.

- Part D: “over the computer software market.”—All good. This finishes the thought cleanly.

The correct answer is Option:2, B.
