In about two months, / our family will be / leaving to Australia / to settle there

A.

In about two months

B.

our family will be

C.

leaving to Australia

D.

to settle there

Correct option is C

Option (c) contains an error.
Explanation:
The preposition “to” is not used after “leaving” when talking about countries or large places.
Correct usage is: “leaving for Australia” (not “to”).
Correct sentence: Our family will be leaving for Australia.
Grammatical Rule Used:
· Use “leave for” when indicating destination.
· “Leave to” is incorrect in standard English when referring to travel/movement.

"Leave to" is only used in a different sense:
e.g. "I leave the decision to you."
