Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. is visiting the site.
The original sentence is incorrect due to a subject-verb agreement error.
The subject "The District Collector, Mr. Kaushalendra Kumar" is singular, but the verb "are" is plural.
The correct verb should be singular to match the singular subject.
The sentence should be: The District Collector, Mr. Kaushalendra Kumar, is visiting the site for inspection.
