C.

No error

D.

caused a lot of damage

Correct option is C

Option (c) is correct – No error.
Explanation:
The sentence is grammatically correct in all respects:
· Subject – “The unseasonal rain” (singular, proper usage)
· Verb – “caused” (past tense, correct)
· Object – “a lot of damage to the crops” (proper article + noun phrase)
Grammatical rule used:
Correct use of past tense with singular subject.
“Rain” is an uncountable noun and treated as singular.
Example:
The heavy rain damaged the road badly. ✅
�� Information Booster:
“Damage” is an uncountable noun, so we do not use “many” with it. Use “much” or “a lot of”.
