Correct answer: B
Answer: The segment that contains the grammatical error is 'are a dirty business'.
Correct sentence: Sometimes politics is a dirty business to deal with.
Explanation: The noun 'politics' in this sentence names a field or subject and is treated as singular, so it requires the singular verb 'is' rather than the plural 'are'.
Treat words that name fields, subjects, or collective concepts as singular: 'Politics is a dirty business.'
Compare: 'Education is the key to success.'
