B.

C.

D.

who will be obsequous and will dance to their tunes

Correct option is D

Option (d) contains an error.

Correct spelling is: “obsequious” – excessively obedient or attentive (अति आज्ञाकारी)।
Part of Speech: Adjective
Example: The manager surrounded himself with obsequious staff who never questioned him.
Grammatical rule used: In spelling-based spotting errors, especially with Latin-derived adjectives like "obsequious," be careful with suffixes like "-ious," not "-ous" alone.
Information Booster: “Obsequious” is often used in a negative sense to describe people who flatter or obey to gain favor.
