Correct option is D
Option (d) contains an error.
Explanation: “Brightly” is an adverb of manner and is not suitable here. The verb "accepted" should be qualified by an adverb like
“gratefully”,
“cheerfully”, or
“happily”, depending on emotion—not "brightly", which is typically visual or literal in meaning (e.g., "a brightly lit room").
Grammatical Rule Used:
Adverbs of manner must suit the verb's context in tone and meaning.
Example:
✔ She gratefully accepted the award.
✖ She brightly accepted the award.

Information Booster:
"Brightly" is better used with verbs like "shine", "glow", etc., and not emotional verbs like "accept".
