In the following question, a sentence is divided into four parts. Choose the part of the sentence which may contain a grammatical error in it. If all the parts of the sentence are grammatically correct and contextually meaningful, choose option “No error” as the answer choice.

The list of items (A)/ are placed (B)/ on the table (C)/ for inspection. (D)

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step Explanation:
1. Identify the Subject: In the sentence, "The list of items (A)/ are placed (B)/ on the table (C)/ for inspection. (D)", we must find the main subject to verify subject-verb agreement. The subject noun phrase is "The list of items".
2. Distinguish the Head Noun from the Prepositional Phrase: In "The list of items", the word "items" is part of the prepositional phrase "of items" which modifies the main noun. The true subject of the sentence is the singular noun "list".
3. Apply the Rule of Subject-Verb Agreement: A singular subject requires a singular verb. The verb phrase in part (B) is "are placed", which uses the plural auxiliary verb "are". This is grammatically incorrect because it agrees with the adjacent plural noun "items" instead of the actual singular subject "list".
4. Correction: The plural verb "are" should be replaced with the singular verb "is" to match the singular subject "list". The grammatically correct sentence is: "The list of items is placed on the table for inspection."
