The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
With hard work, commitment / and proper guidance, / Sivaram has become / a IPS officer.

Correct option is A

Explanation:
The error is in option (a) – "a IPS officer".
Grammatical Rule – Use of Articles (a/an):
· Use “a” before words that start with a consonant sound.
· Examples: a doctor, a teacher, a house.
· Use “an” before words that start with a vowel sound.
· Examples: an engineer, an umbrella, an honest man.
In the phrase “a IPS officer”, the acronym “IPS” begins with the letter “I”, which is pronounced /aɪ/ — a vowel sound. Therefore, the correct article is “an”, not “a”.
