Correct Answer :

Option C

Nothing is ever constants and change will always be the order of the day.

Solution :

The correct option containing an error is: "Nothing is ever constants and change will always be the order of the day."

Step-by-Step Explanation:
1. Analyze the Grammar & Syntax:
In the sentence "Nothing is ever constants and change will always be the order of the day," the word "is" is a singular verb modified by the adverb "ever". It links the subject pronoun "Nothing" (which is singular) to its complement predicate adjective/noun.
2. Identify the Grammatical Error:
The word "constants" is a plural noun. However, in this context, the modifier/complement should be the singular adjective "constant" (meaning unchanging or continuous). Therefore, using the plural form "constants" is grammatically incorrect.
3. Corrected Sentence:
"Nothing is ever constant and change will always be the order of the day."

Review of Other Options:
"The students who went back home did not return." - Grammatically correct.
"The major reason behind pollution is stubble burning across the country." - Grammatically correct.
"India’s population is among the youngest in the world." - Grammatically correct.
