People who defy existing laws to kill predators for money, animal parts, yet personal reasons are called poachers. Read the passage. Look at the underlined section marked number (8). There may be a mistake in the way the sentence is written. If you find a mistake, choose the answer that corrects the mistake. If there is no mistake, choose ‘Correct as is.’ A) Correct as is. B) People who defy existing laws for money, animal parts, or personal reasons are called poachers. C) People who defy existing laws to kill predators for money, animal parts, or personal reasons are called poachers. D) People who defy existing laws to kill predators for money, animal parts, but personal reasons are called poachers.

The sentence expresses continuity rather than discontinuity, since it introduces a list of reasons that maintains certain relationship between them. In this case, the correct type of conjunction that fits the sentence must be a coordinating, not contrastive conjunction, relating the three reasons why a poacher might kill predators.

All other examples use contrastive conjunctions (yet, but), which makes no sense. Option B) is incomplete, lacking the element "to kill predators".
