The police has so far succeeded in recovering only a part of the stolen property.

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option E
The phrase "so far succeeded in recovering" is grammatically correct and idiomatic.

"So far" means "up to this point in time" and is appropriate for indicating progress.

"Succeeded in" is the correct verb-preposition combination when followed by a gerund.

"Recovering" is the gerund form of the verb "recover," which correctly follows "succeeded in."

Therefore, the original sentence is correctly structured and does not require any correction.

Hence, Option E is the correct answer.

To my knowledge,The word "The Police" is a plural word. Hence, it should be followed by Plural verb. So 'HAS' should be replaced by 'HAVE'.
