Explanation:

Correct answer is (d). The error lies in part 4 of the sentence where ‘to’ is wrongly used. Here ‘made’ is used with the meaning ‘cause something to happen’ E.g. My sister makes me laugh every time. The infinitive ‘to’ will be added only if ‘make’ is used in passive voice. E.g. Riya was made to dance on stage by her teacher. Thus, here ‘to’ needs to be omitted to make the sentence grammatically correct. Thus, option 4 is the correct answer.
