The correct answer is A. permissible.

An error in a newspaper article is permissible if it is accidental. This means that the error was not made on purpose, and the writer or editor did not intend to include it in the article. Accidental errors can happen for a variety of reasons, such as typos, misunderstandings, or mistakes in fact-checking.

Permissible errors are not considered to be serious, and they do not usually reflect poorly on the writer or editor. However, it is important to correct accidental errors as soon as possible, so that readers do not get the wrong impression.

The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the nature of an accidental error.
