    C revived a long-standing debate on the Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D hazard nature of rat-hole coal mining in India. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In the part 'C', the noun' hazard' should be replaced by adjective 'hazardous' asthe sentence needs an adjective to describe the noun 'nature' of the coal-mining. "Hazard" is a noun that refers to a danger, whereas "hazardous" is the adjective that describes something as dangerous or risky. The corrected sentence would read: "With four deaths so far, the coal mining tragedy in Assam’s Dima Hasao district has revived a long-standing debate on the hazardous nature of rat-hole coal mining in India."
