B.

No error

C.

remained closed because for their fragility.

D.

The museum was built in 1972, although

Correct option is C

Option (c) contains the error.
· The phrase “because for” is grammatically incorrect. You can either say “because of” or “for”, but not both together.
· Correct sentence: remained closed because of their fragility.
Grammatical rule used:
�� ‘Because of’ is a preposition followed by a noun, and ‘because’ is a conjunction followed by a clause.
Example:
· Incorrect: He left because of he was tired.
· Correct: He left because he was tired.
· Correct: He left because of tiredness.
�� Information Booster: Never use “because for” together – it’s a redundancy error.
