The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understand the verb usage
The word “happen” is an intransitive verb. It typically doesn’t take a subject like “so” directly. So correct usage would be “If so it happens...” or “If that happens...” but not “If so happens.” Step 2: Evaluate each sentence
(A) Grammatically correct — “mistakes will happen” is a valid construction.
(B) Correct — “It happened on a system that worked” is idiomatically fine.
(C) Correct — future tense construction is used properly.
(D) Incorrect — “If so happens” is not grammatically structured. “So” cannot be used as the subject here.
