It is correct coz the whole sentence is in present tense.

It is in simple past tense. So no need to go for optios b c & d (since they are in past participle). Also the 1st ststement is not proper. Hence no need for correction.

It is not possible to place had after they so (B, C, D) are out of answer. A is complete itself. So E is correct.

Is " on failure is not correct"? we generally say that on his success rit. So can we say on his failure?
