Correct option is D
Option
(d) contains an error.
Explanation:
The phrase "Not a single boy" is
singular in meaning, so any pronoun referring back to it must also be singular.
However,
"their hands" is a
plural pronoun and doesn’t agree with the singular subject.
Correct sentence:
Not a single boy in the unruly class raised his hand before answering the question.
Grammatical rule used:
Singular indefinite expressions like
"no one, not a single, each, every" must be followed by
singular pronouns.
Example:
· Incorrect: Not a single girl brought
their umbrella.
· Correct: Not a single girl brought
her umbrella.
