Option 3 : C

The error is in part C of the sentence. Thus, correct option is 3.

The word ‘During’ is a preposition.

During is used before noun to indicate when the action took place.

It does not imply duration of time.

For example- During the game, audience cheered the team.

The use of preposition ‘for’ expresses a period of time for which the event takes place.

For example- They have been out of the class for ages.

In the sentence ‘a decade’ represents duration, thus use of ‘for’ is correct.

Correct sentence:

The leaning tower of Pisa has been closed for a decade.
