Correct option is C
The correct substitution of the highlighted segment is
(c) attended.
Correct sentence:
She
attended
the conference yesterday.
Explanation:
The sentence mentions “
yesterday,” which indicates a
past action. Therefore, the verb must also be in the
simple past tense. “Is attending” is present continuous, which is incorrect for past time references.
Grammatical Rule Used:
When a sentence refers to a
specific past time (like “yesterday”), we must use the
simple past tense (V2 form).

Explanation in Hindi:
“Yesterday” शब्द बीते समय की ओर संकेत करता है, इसलिए यहाँ क्रिया का रूप “attended” (past simple) होना चाहिए। "Is attending" वर्तमान की क्रिया है जो गलत है।
