Answer:

The type of edit to direct quotes which is inappropriate is the following one:

Correcting errors in the quote.

Explanation:

If it is a direct quote, it is supposed to be as genuine as possible, that is, the essence of what was said by that particular person must be kept, and that includes not only what was said, but also how it was said- errors and all.

Eg: Let's say you want to quote Joker (played by Heath Ledger in "The Dark Knight") and you write:

As said by Joker: "Why are you so serious?"

In the example above, the essence of the original quote was lost, since the omission of verb and subject (Why so serious?) was what gave the classic quote its mysterious charm. So, it is best to keep it the way it actually is:

As said by Joker: "Why so serious?"

What are direct quotes?

Direct quotes mean to incorporate another person's words into one's document. Quotation marks always come in sets.

Here, the quotation cannot be opened and fail to close at the end of the quoted material, and the first letter of the quoted material must be capitalized.

Example:

Let's say you want to quote the Joker (played by Heath Ledger in “The Dark Knight”) and you write:

Said by a joker:  “Why are you so serious?”

In the above example, the core of the original quote was declined, since the omission of verb and subject Why and so serious? It was what gave the classic quote its deep charm. So, it is best to keep it the mode it actually is:

As said by Joker: “Why so serious?”

Therefore, option D is correct.
