Correct option is C
Option (c) contains an error.
The subject
"Indian force" is grammatically incorrect. The plural noun
"forces" should be used instead of the singular
"force", as the context refers to the entire military or armed forces, which is a plural entity. Additionally, the verb
"are" is correct, but it must agree with the plural subject
"forces."
Correct sentence: Indian
forces are known for their loyalty and integrity.
Grammatical Rule Involved:
1.
Subject-Verb Agreement:
· The subject and verb in a sentence must agree in number (singular/plural).

"force" (singular) does not align with the plural verb
"are", creating an error.
2.
Collective Nouns:
· When referring to the military, the term
"forces" is used to indicate the armed forces or military units collectively.
Examples to Clarify the Rule:

Correct Usage: The Indian
forces are deployed at the border.
