Solution
The correct option is C D
The sentence talks about Nalini finding it difficult to manage three children single- handedly. The first three parts of the sentence are grammatically correct. But, part [D] of the sentence is incorrect because 'between' is used when there are two people and the sentence is talking about 'three children'. The correct word to use instead of 'between' is 'among'.Therefore, the incorrect part is [D] and the correct option is (D).
