Below a word is given in three sentences. Find out which one/ones make/makes a correct usage of the given word and mark the option accordingly. If the sentences are all correct mark option 5 as the answer. A: We were discussing the roots of the current economic malaise. B: Economic degradation roots in illiteracy.  C: The high crime rate has its roots in unemployment and poverty. Correct Answer Both A and C

The correct option is 2. Both A and C are incorrect. 

Root means the part of a plant that grows down into the earth to get water and food and holds the plant firm in the ground; the cause or origin of something bad.

From this, it can be seen that sentence B uses the word incorrectly. It should be 'Economic degradation has its roots in illiteracy'
