Solution
The correct option is B b
The option that has an error, is the correct option.
Option B: The
error lies in part (b): 'congratulate you for your success'.
The phrases 'congratulate for' and 'congratulate on' have slightly different meanings, and hence, they will be written in different forms in the sentence.
Here, we should either write 'congratulate you on your success' or 'congratulate you for succeeding'
Hence, option B is the correct option with the error.
The other parts (a) and (c) do not have any error in them. They are grammatically correct and are complete in meaning.
Hence options A and C are not the right answers.
Option D is incorrect because the sentence has an error (b).
