None of the option seems appropriate.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The original phrase 'None of the option' is grammatically incorrect. When using the construction 'None of the [noun],' the noun must be plural because 'none' implies zero out of a group of items.
Correct Usage: 'Options' is the plural form of 'option.' Therefore, 'None of the options' is the correct grammatical structure.
Subject-Verb Agreement: In formal English, 'none' is often treated as singular (none of the options seems appropriate), though it is also commonly used as plural in informal contexts. In this specific question, the verb 'seems' is singular, which is consistent with 'none' being the subject.
Option (4) is the correct answer.
