Identify the part containing the error in the sentence (if no error, answer is (d)): The group of students on a visit to Srinagar circumnavigated around the Dal Lake
General EnglishGrammar and usage
- AThe group of students
- Bon a visit to Srinagar
- Ccircumnavigated around the Dal Lake

Explanation
'Circumnavigate' already means to travel all the way around something, so adding 'around' is redundant ('circumnavigated around the Dal Lake'). The error is in part (c). The sentence should read 'circumnavigated the Dal Lake'.
