The error lies in part 3 of the sentence where a verb has been used in place of a noun. The verb 'concerned' is wrong and should be replaced with the noun 'concern' to make it grammatically correct.

have

D
always have

E
had

Solution

With words that indicate portions - percent, fraction and so forth - the noun in the phrase (object of the preposition) determines whether to use a singular or plural verb. If the object of the preposition is singular, a singular verb is used. As 'population' is singular, 'has' will be used.

B
is becoming

C
have become

D
has become

E
have became

Solution

The cricket team is a singular collective noun. The word 'today' supports option 4 only. The context is not of progressive nature. The sentence refers to 'Cricket team' which is singular. Hence, the option would be 'has become'.
