B.

the old of all monuments in the city

C.

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

· • (b) The old of all monuments in the city -
· Incorrect; lacks the correct degree of comparison.
· Hindi: गलत।
