Explanation:

Correct Option: C

The adverb 'mostly' which refers to 'Usually' or 'Generally' is wrongly used here and should be replaced by 'most' which refers to 'to the greatest extent' to make the sentence grammtically correct. All other parts which are in bold are correct and need no improvement.

Option C is hence the correct answer.
