C.

course, for it is a creature of legend.

D.

forests, never catching it, of

Correct option is A

Option (a) No error is correct.
Explanation:
· The sentence is grammatically correct as a fragment or participial phrase – often used in descriptive or narrative writing.
· The participial phrase "Chasing the white stag through the forests, never catching it, of course..." is meant to be poetic or stylistic, not a complete sentence.
· There is no subject-verb agreement issue or tense error.
· Grammatical rule used: Participial phrases often begin with a verb in the -ing form and do not require a subject if functioning as modifiers or narrative stylistic elements.
· Example: "Running through the fields, laughing joyfully, she felt free."
�� Information Booster: Writers often use fragments intentionally for stylistic effect in fiction or informal writing. They are not always incorrect grammatically.
