    A.

    No correction

    B.

    improving resilience on

    C.

    improves resilience with

    D.

    improve resilience to

    Correct option is D


    · The correct answer is (d) improve resilience to.
    Explanation: In this sentence, "improve resilience to" is correct because "to" is the appropriate preposition used with "resilience" when indicating what one is becoming resilient or adaptable to. The infinitive form "improve" is also correct here, as it matches the form of the question, which asks "How can" something happen, followed by the base form of the verb.
    Corrected Sentence:
    "How can regular physical activity improve resilience to heat?"
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    · Prepositional Use with 'Resilience': In English, certain nouns like "resilience" typically pair with specific prepositions. "Resilience to" is used when talking about the ability to withstand or adapt to certain conditions or challenges (e.g., resilience to stress, resilience to cold).
    · Infinitive Form: After "can," we use the base form of the verb, which is "improve" in this case.
    In Hindi:
    · सहनीयता (resilience) के साथ उचित पूर्वसर्ग: अंग्रेज़ी में कुछ संज्ञाओं के साथ विशिष्ट पूर्वसर्ग का प्रयोग होता है। यहाँ "resilience to" का प्रयोग तब किया जाता है जब यह व्यक्त करना हो कि किस चीज़ को सहने या अनुकूलित करने की क्षमता विकसित की जा रही है (जैसे, resilience to stress, resilience to cold)।
    · असली क्रिया रूप (Infinitive Form): "can" के बाद हमेशा क्रिया का आधार रूप (मूल रूप) प्रयोग होता है, जो इस वाक्य में "improve" है।
    Example:
    · Her resilience to criticism helped her succeed in a competitive environment.
    · (आलोचना को सहने की उसकी क्षमता ने उसे एक प्रतिस्पर्धात्मक वातावरण में सफल होने में मदद की।)
