Solution
The correct option is C C
It will be 'because the bus was detained' instead of 'to detain'. Here the infinitive can't be used. The action of detaining had already been committed and that is why the tourists couldn't reach the place. Hence, the error is in part C. There is no error in the parts A, B and D. E is not the correct answer because the sentence contains an error.
