any of the existing evidence and was, instead, inconclusive. No error                                          (C)                                         (D)                                        (E)

The correct answer is B
Explanation: The error in this sentence occurs at choice B where the conjunction "or" does not agree idiomatically with the adverb "neither." Idiomatically, "neither" is followed by "nor," and "either" by "or." Thus, this word choice error could be corrected by changing "or" to "nor."
