Answer & Explanation

Ans. c

Exp. Among the given three alternatives, both (I) and (II) give the similar meaning to the sentence without altering the intended meaning of it. Moreover, both the expressions are grammatically correct. However, the third expression cannot be used in the sentence as it is to be noted that the sentence is conditional and the first half of the sentence is complemented by the latter half to make a meaningful sense. In the case of third expression, it lacks a proper connector (conjunction) to connect with the latter half and make the sentence meaningful. Hence option (c) is the correct choice.

Hence option (c) is the correct choice.
