Solution
The correct option is A A
The given sentence describes the nature of the ground due to the flowers which had fallen. Since the word used to describe something is an adjective, the correct form of the word must be 'smooth'. But, the sentence uses the adverb 'smoothly' which is incorrectly used in the part [A] of the sentence, which is the incorrect part.Therefore, the correct answer is option (A).
