Solution

The correct option is A True
The sentence "Riya was faster at running than anyone of her three siblings." has an error in it.
'Anyone' means 'anybody', it doesn't matter who. It refers to one person. There are "three siblings" mentioned, hence we cannot say 'anyone of three'.
We can use 'any of her three siblings', as 'any' refers to 'more than two'.
Hence, the sentence 'Riya was faster...' is grammatically incorrect.
So, the statement that says "The below-mentioned sentence is grammatically incorrect" is TRUE.
Hence option A is correct and B is incorrect.
