Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. of.
The error in the given sentence is the incorrect use of the preposition "on."
The correct preposition to use in this context is "of."
The word "capable" is followed by the preposition "of" when expressing the ability or capacity to do something.
The correct construction is "capable of (verb-ing)" to convey someone's ability or capability in performing a particular action.
The correct sentence should be: Radhika is not capable of participating in a national level competition.
The other option means:
"About" is often used to indicate a general subject, topic, or the content of a discussion or conversation.
"On" is used to indicate various relationships, such as time, location, or topics.
"At" is often used to indicate a specific point in time, a location, or a particular moment.
