  Show/Hide Explanation 

Correct Answer: C

The use of "much" in the sentence is incorrect, as "much" indicates a great amount, but not a large count, and should be used for singular nouns. The correct choice should have the word "many" instead of "much." The only answer choice that makes this change is "despite many different attempts to do so."
