    A 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The preposition "on" is incorrect in this context. The correct preposition should be "in", because when referring to something like a residence or a building, we typically say "in the residence" rather than "on the residence."

    The corrected sentence should read: "Fire fighters found no cash during their operation to douse flames in the residence of Delhi High Court Justice."
