Most common is “Finding faults in others”
Less common is Finding faults with others.

“Finding faults of others” is very rarely heard by good English speakers but I am not sure if it is grammatically wrong.

Regards and Good Night.

Constant effort and practice, time, patience and experience will solve the problem.
There is no shortcut.
Continue being eager to learn always and never stop wanting to learn.

Even I make mistakes sometimes.
Earlier I used to make many mistakes. Now I make very few.
So don’t worry about this.

C is wrong and so are B and D
E is the best and also correct.
A is not preferable but in some rare cases it may be acceptable.
Better to avoid A also and use E
