Explanation:

Correct Answer is (c).The original sentence is erroneous.
Reason: The word ‘spacious’ means ‘having ample space’ and is unsuitable in this sentence. The correct word to be used here is ‘specious’ which means ‘superficially plausible, but actually wrong’. Hence ‘specious’ should be used in place of ‘spacious’ to make the sentence grammatically correct.
Among the given choices, only option C replaces the given bold part most appropriately.
The sentence after replacement becomes:
It is difficult to take sides when both the parties present specious arguments.Option C is hence the correct answer.
