This one made me scratch my head- I am going with A here because all of the other choices change the intended meaning, and while the original could be written better- it is not technically or grammatically incorrect in a way that dictates accepting another choice that changes the meaning.

OPTION A
A) Correct! No apparent Errors!
B) Incorrect. "being undertaken" The GMAT does not like the use of being in this context
C) Incorrect. No mention to happiness, which is not the same as welfare. "Undertaking to" is not correct.
D) Incorrect. "Project of improving" is not correct. Also, change in the meaning as welfare is not the same as happiness.
E) Incorrect. Complete change in the meaning. There was no prior mention to happiness.
