I think the correct answer among the choices presented above is option B. The error in the meaning and the usage of a word in the sentence can be corrected by changing  lumine to luminescent. 

The angler fish has a rather strange luminescent appendage that lookslike something to eat if you are another fish looking for a sumptuous meal.

The correct answer is B. change lumine to luminescent.


We need an adjective in front of the word appendage and lumine is not an adjective. It is a verb, a rather obsolete verb, which means the same as to illuminate, to brighten up. On the other hand, luminescent is an adjective, and it means producing light.
