    B One of the must alluring Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C One of the most alluring Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D One off the most alluring Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No correction required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In the given sentence, 'Most' which is an adverb must be placed before a verb, adjective or adverb to modify it. So, use of word 'allurement', which is a noun, is incorrect in the highlighted part of the sentence. In option a) use of 'allures', which is a plural noun, is grammatically incorrect in the sentence. In option b) use of 'must' is not an appropriate choice. Option c) 'one of the most alluring' is grammatically as well as contextually fit. In option d) use of 'off' makes the sentence meaningless. Therefore, the correct answer is c).
