Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. and also.

  1. The error lies in option 1 because of the wrong use of "Conjunction".
  2. We need to replace "And also" with "But also" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical concept:- 

  • "Not only ________ but also" is a correct pair of the conjunction that is used before the same parts of speech.
  • The chosen option contains the Grammatical Error hence, it will be the correct choice.

Correct Sentence:-
