Option 1 : P

The error lies in part P of the question. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.

Negotiation is an act of discussing in order to reach an agreement and solve a problem. The general pattern of using ‘negotiation’ in sentences is:

to be in negotiation with someone.

­­­___ is under negotiation. (The deal / treaty/ contract is under negotiation)

to enter into negotiation with somebody.

“on negotiation” is not the correct usage.

Correct sentence -   Both men are still in negotiation with the head of the company about their future.
