Explanation:

Correct answer is (a). The first error lies in fragment B of the sentence because older is mainly used to denote persons and things both but not within the same family. For that purpose, elder is used. Here, my older brother is not the correct usage. It should have been my elder brother.
Another error lies in part D of the statement since we know that if more than one adjective is referring to a single subject, they should be all be used in the same degree of comparison. Here, smartest and honest employee is not the correct usage since the first one is in superlative degree whereas the next one is in positive degree. It should have been smartest and the most honest employee in the organization.Other parts of the sentence are correct and do not require any correction.
