Explanation:

Correct answer is (B). The first error lies in the fragment B of the statement since it completely changes the meaning of the sentence. There is a difference between hard and hardly and here the usages of these words are wrong. Hard should be used here to imply that the students have made valiant efforts to win the competition. But hardly in this statement implies that the students did not try at all. This is wrong. The second error lies in the fragment C of the sentence. At Present and presently are not used in the same sense. In this context, it is implied that nothing can be done now and that is meant by at present. Presently refers to shortly. So, there is an error in this part of the sentence also. Other parts of the sentence do not have any error and therefore fragments A and D are error free. This makes option D the correct choice among the given options.
