D. to investigate the case of the missing batsman, who fled the team hotel in Amsterdam to go to London and subsequently applied for political asylum there.
E. for investigating the case of the missing batsman, who has fled the team hotel in Amsterdam to go to London and is subsequently applying for political asylum there. here "for investigating" is not correct. The correct usage is "to investigate". Therefore, B and E are out. In C "having fled" is not correct. We need "who" to refer to person and not "That" Therefore the correct answer is D +1D Whats OA

D. to investigate the case of the missing batsman, who fled the team hotel in Amsterdam to go to London and subsequently applied for political asylum there.
E. for investigating the case of the missing batsman, who has fled the team hotel in Amsterdam to go to London and is subsequently applying for political asylum there. A. that cannot modify batsman. B. to investigate>>for investigating. Infinitive implies intent which is correct here!. C. "having" usage is wrong. See below for detail. Also tenses are screwed up. D. Correct. E. Same error as B. Problem with having."having" generally implies cause of something that happens. For example. Having scored a bad GPA, I could not get admitted to any of the ivy leagues. Having fled from China, the fugitive escaped the clutches of the hostile governemnt.

E. for investigating the case of the missing batsman, who has fled the team hotel in Amsterdam to go to London and is subsequently applying for political asylum there. my answer is D .. why Not A :- wrong uses of That, After that "fled " is used ,so "applied" is good to use rather " has subsequently applied" why Not B : - for investigating why Not C :- main thing :- we cannot say applying is verb here ;so after and SV missing . second Having fled use is unnecessary why Not E :- is applying doesnot fit ; already fled and already appllied
