Explanation:

- Part A: "Many a doubt on History" - This is grammatically correct. "Many a" is a phrase meaning "many" and is followed by a singular noun.

- Part B: "were cleared in the remedial class" - This is where the error lies. Since "Many a" is singular, the verb should also be singular. Correct form: "was cleared."

- Part C: "thus proving the maximum" - This part is correct. "Proving" is properly used here.

- Part D: "utility of such initiatives." - This is error-free and makes sense as it ties back to part C.

Correct Answer: ? Part B is incorrect.
