Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In part (C), the bare verb "play" is incorrect after the noun phrase "the monkeys". It should be either a participle (playing) or a relative clause (that/which play) to describe the monkeys.
Correct sentence: "Visitors to the zoo are amused by the monkeys playing in the cages."
