    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.
