C — '식사' means meal. It is unrelated to a promotion review process.

D — '시간' means time. While time is involved in any process, '시간이 발생했다' (time occurred) is not a natural expression for an issue in a process. '오류' is the best fit.

정답: A. 진급

How to solve: The sentence is about becoming a sergeant, which is a military rank. '진급' means promotion, which is the correct word for moving up in rank.
