Each item in this section has a sentence with three underlined parts labelled (a), (b) and (c). Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in any underlined part and indicate your response on the Answer Sheet against the corresponding letter, i.e., (a), (b) or (c). If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d).

Explanation
Part (c) uses the wrong word: 'defied' means openly resisted or challenged, whereas the sentence means the high prices nullified or frustrated the purpose of the public event — the correct verb is 'defeated'. Parts (a) and (b) contain no error. The wrong word in (c) makes C the answer.
