C) And was ready to D) Stake their political existence
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Stake their political existence

The error lies in the 4th part of the sentence. The subject is 'the ruling party' which is singular; hence 'their' should be replaced by 'its' as their is a possessive pronoun for plural subjects and its is the possessive for singular subjects.
