    A.

    B.

    to the crops

    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”.
