The error is in (d) part.
The entire sentence should be written correctly as shown below:
The girl said that she preferred the blue gown to the black one.
Explanation
With the verb 'prefer' 'to' is used. Preposition 'than' is used with comparative degree of adjective.
While using the verb ‘prefer’ this must be kept in mind that we have to use preposition ‘to’.

Solution:
The error is in the option D.
The correct sentence would be ‘The girl said that she preferred the black gown over the blue one.
When clear cut choice is given and the selection is made upon the given set of options, then ‘over’ is used.
Than is the conjunction which is used when clear distinction is made between the two sets.
