Explanation:

Correct Answer is (c).There are two errors in the bold part.
Firstly, the phrasal verb ‘in a bad light’ which means ‘in a way that makes someone or something look bad’ has been written incorrectly. Therefore, ‘under a bad light’ must be replaced by ‘in a bad light’ in order to make the sentence correct.
E.g.: The defendants were shown in a bad light by the lawyer.
Secondly, the tense of the word ‘showed’ is also erroneous. The given sentence is in simple present tense. Therefore, ‘showed’ should be replaced by ‘show’ to make it a grammatically correct sentence.
Among the given choices option C replaces the bold part most appropriately.
The sentence after replacement becomes:
Hecklers generally hurt themselves and their party the most because they show both in a bad light.Option C is hence the correct answer.
