Correct option is B

Option (b) contains an error.
· Error: The phrase "able to drink" is incorrect in this context. Instead, it should be "allowed to drink" as "able" refers to capability, whereas "allowed" refers to permission.

Grammatical Rule Used:
· Use "allowed" to indicate permission, not "able," which implies physical or mental ability.
