Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. B.
The error is in part (b):
“is most sacred book” is grammatically incorrect because it misses an article.

“is the most sacred book”
(The superlative form 'most sacred' requires the article 'the' before it.)
Correct sentence:
The Gita is the most sacred book of the Hindus.
