    the old of all monuments in the city

    C.

    the oldest monument in the city

    D.

    an oldest of all monuments in the city

    Correct option is C


    The correct phrase is "the oldest monument in the city", as it uses the superlative degree of the adjective "old" to describe one monument among all.
    · The superlative degree of adjectives is used when comparing one thing with all others. It is formed by adding "the" before the superlative form (e.g., "oldest").
    Explanation in Hindi
    • "The oldest monument in the city" सही है क्योंकि यह सुपरलेटिव डिग्री का उपयोग करता है जो सभी में से एक का वर्णन करता है।
