Solution

The correct option is C Subject: No man; Predicate: can serve two masters
The verb 'can serve' indicates that the phrase no man does the work in the sentence. It is also the topic of discussion in the sentence. Hence, 'No man' is the subject, the rest of the sentence being the predicate. Thus, option 'C' is the correct answer.
