    A saw smoke rising from a building Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B No substitution Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C see smoke raised out of a building Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D saw smoke raising in the building Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Here, 'raising' is incorrect. It should be 'rising'. Raise means to lift something to a higher position, whereas, rise means to move upwards. The first one needs a person to lift something, whereas the latter doesn't need anyone's support.
