Answer:

B. B

Read Explanation:

  • "Although" and "but" are both conjunctions used to introduce contrasting ideas."But" എന്ന വാക്ക് ഇവിടെ തെറ്റായി ഉപയോഗിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു, കാരണം "Although" already ഒരു വൈരുദ്ധ്യത്തെ / contrast സൂചിപ്പിക്കുന്നു. However, using them together in the same clause is redundant and incorrect (അനാവശ്യവും തെറ്റുമാണ്)
  • The correct sentence should be: "Although he left home early, he reached school late." (അവൻ വീട്ടിൽ നിന്ന് നേരത്തെ പുറപ്പെട്ടെങ്കിലും, അവൻ വൈകിയാണ് സ്കൂളിൽ എത്തിയത്).
  • Hence, the error is in part (B).
