Here are my answers..
1 C: Short and concise. Do we really need row upon row? Thats the confusion if I should choose D vs C.
2 D I/me for subj/obj and had approved before it adjourned.
3 D try to is more idiomatic. Dont need the word very in front of unique. Redundant word?
4 A. All other choices seem wrong. B and C change meaning of the sentence from reason for a discrepancy to discrepancy directly. D goes having ... had.. and again had in the last clause. E looks completely awkward..

1. D. There is the tense problem in original sentence. D corrects it straightforward. I'm confused between C and D also, but I would choose D.
2. D. Robert and me and past perfect tense because had approved before...
3. D the same logic as willget800
4. A.
B, C and E different meaning. D tense problem.

The OA is
2-D ( Anyone can explain why a perfect tense needs to be used)
IMO, we see 2 actions in the past in this sentence. Adjourned and approve. And since "approval" happens before adjourned, we need to use past perfect "had approved".
