Solution

The correct option is B Only C
The correct option mentions the incorrect sentence with the error.
Option C: The phrase 'broke into' means 'to get into a building or car with force, usually to steal something'. This phrase does not form a complete meaning in this sentence.
The correction is: The horse suddenly broke loose its buckle. 'To break loose' means 'to suddenly become loose'.
Hence option C highlights the incorrect sentence.
The other sentences are complete in meaning. Hence we do not choose options A, B and D.
