(C)/ No error(D) Correct Answer C
Part C of the sentence contains error.
We know that ‘either … or’ and ‘neither … nor’ occur in pairs. In part C of the sentence, this pairing has been changed. This renders the part incorrect.
‘either … or’ is a ‘correlative conjunction’ used when ‘two options, situations or possibilities are to be considered and a choice is to be made’.
Thus, ‘or’ must replace ‘nor’.
Correct sentence- 'The plan does not take into account the monsoonal hydrology of India’s rivers when they are either too full or too low.'
