Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

The clause “in spite of being warned … failed to correct” demands a word with a negative sense, i.e. behaviour that deviates from an accepted standard. “Errant” = straying from the proper course. Options (A), (B) and (D) are all positive and contradict “warned”.
