Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The error lies in part (C) of the sentence. When comparing attributes of two entities, the comparison must be logical and parallel. Here, the "population of Mumbai" is being incorrectly compared to "any city in USA" rather than the "population of any city".
To make it correct, we should use "that of" to refer back to the population.
Incorrect: ...is greater than in any city in USA.
Correct: ...is greater than that of any city in the USA.
To make it correct, we should use "that of" to refer back to the population.
