    B.

    for the comfort

    C.

    with his

    D.

    mother’s lap

    Correct option is C


    The incorrect segment is "with his."
    Explanation:
    · The correct preposition should be "in" instead of "with."
    · The correct phrase is "in his mother’s lap" instead of "with his mother’s lap."
    Correct Sentence: The boy longed for the comfort in his mother’s lap.
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    · "In someone's lap" is the correct phrase to indicate resting or seeking comfort.
