Explanation
Only sentence 1 is correct. Sentence 1 rightly uses “brawl” (a noisy quarrel or fight). Sentence 2 wrongly uses “bawl” (to cry out) where “bowl” (a dish) is needed for serving fruit. Sentence 3 wrongly uses “bowl” where “bawl” (to wail noisily) is needed for the kid. Hence only sentence 1 is right: (c).
