Correct Answer: Option A — She taste
The error is in part (A).
The Correction
The subject "She" is a third-person singular pronoun. In the simple present tense, the verb must agree with the subject by adding an -s or -es.
• Incorrect: She taste...
• Correct: She tastes the sauce...

Why the other parts are correct
• (B) the sauce to: This correctly identifies the object and uses the infinitive "to" to introduce the purpose.
• (C) find out whether: "Whether" is the appropriate conjunction to use when expressing an investigation between two possibilities (tasty or not).
• (D) it is tasteful or not: While "tasty" is more common for food, "tasteful" can occasionally be used to mean having a pleasant flavor, though the primary grammatical error remains in the subject-verb agreement of part A.
The correct option is A.
