    A Hundreds of Kashmiri Pandits Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B left the Valley in the 1990s Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C in the face of raging militancy in J&K Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D and settles in different parts of the country Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Here, since ‘hundreds of Kashmiri Pandits’ is the subject, ‘settles’ is incorrect. Also, since it is an action of the past, ‘settled’ is correct. Hundreds of Kashmiri Pandits left the Valley in the 1990s in the face of raging militancy in J&K and settled in different parts of the country.
