Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The error lies in part (B) of the sentence.The preposition "below" is incorrect here. When talking about protection or cover provided by a shadow or shade, we use the preposition "in".Incorrect: below the shade of a treeCorrect: in the shade of a tree(Note: We use "under" with the tree itself—e.g., "under a tree"—but "in" with the "shade" of the tree).Therefore, part B contains the error.
