None is so deaf as those who will not hear.
Answer: A
The error is in part (1), None is.
The sentence compares 'none' with 'those who will not hear', a plural group, so 'none' here means 'no people' and takes a plural verb. The proverb is correctly 'None are so deaf as those who will not hear', often given as 'There are none so deaf as those who will not hear'.
The other parts are correct: 'so deaf as' is the standard form of comparison after a negative, 'as those' refers to people, and 'who will not hear' is the relative clause describing them.
