Option C

C

Solution :

The correct answer is C.


Let us analyze each segment of the sentence to identify the errors and find the only grammatically correct part:


1. Segment (A): "Lately, December, the season where (A)"
This segment is incorrect. "December" is a time/month, so the relative pronoun used for time should be "when" instead of "where" (which is used for places).


2. Segment (B): "snowfall usually begin, has managed (B)"
This segment is incorrect. The noun "snowfall" is uncountable and singular, so it requires a singular verb form "begins" rather than "begin".


3. Segment (C): "to experience dry spells and (C)"
This segment is grammatically correct. The structure follow-up "has managed to experience dry spells and..." correctly uses the infinitive "to experience" following the auxiliary verb phrase "has managed".


4. Segment (D): "accounts on for changes in local agriculture (D)"
This segment is incorrect. The phrasing "accounts on for" contains redundant prepositions. The correct idiom is either "accounts for" or "is responsible for". Moreover, to maintain parallelism with "has managed", it should be "account for" or parallel in tense context.


Therefore, segment (C) is the only grammatically correct part.
