Explanation:

The erroneous part is '(B).'
The error lies in part (B) of the sentence.
The only articles in English are 'the' and 'a/an'.
We use the article "a or an" to indicate any non-specified member of a group or category. If a word begins with a vowel sound, then the correct article is 'an'; otherwise, if it begins with a consonantal sound.
The word "year" starts with a consonant word "y", so we must use "a" instead of "an."
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.
Correct sentence: Raju will be back home in a year after his stay abroad.
