Answer & Explanation Answer: C) and no trouble is there

Explanation:

Error is in third part. Here, “there” is an adverb that qualifies the verb ‘is’. The position of ‘there’ in the sentence is incorrect. The correct usage should be ‘there is no trouble’. It indicates the absence of any trouble in a country.
