The detention (arised two distinct) but closely linked questions.

Correct option is C

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (c) raised two distinct.
Explanation: The verb “arised” is grammatically incorrect. The correct past tense verb that should be used is “raised” which means “brought up” or “caused to be considered”. “Raise” is a transitive verb (requires an object), while “arise” is intransitive (does not take an object).
Grammatical rule used: Use of correct verb form based on transitivity.
Example:
· Incorrect: The topic arised many questions.
· Correct: The topic raised many questions.
 Information Booster:
· “Raise” (उठाना) → transitive → needs object (e.g., raise your hand).
· “Arise” (उत्पन्न होना) → intransitive → no object (e.g., problems arise).
