Ans:5
All the sets of words are absolutely correct and provide the precise meaning except ‘control and derogating’. ‘Control’ means the power to influence or direct people’s behavior or the course of events while ‘derogating’ means to deviate from (a set of rules or agreed form of behavior). As they fail to make the sentence grammatically correct and contextually meaningful option (e) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

4. Pricing strategies are programmed to _____________ profit over a long horizon and algorithms “learn” to behave _____________ on their own.
