Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

Offending is an adjective that means guilty of a crime or wrongdoing. It fits well in the sentence to convey that the driver of the truck was involved in some offensive or wrongful action.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Offencing: This is not a valid word in English. The correct form is offending .

  • Offence: This is a noun that refers to wrongdoing or a violation of the law.

So, the correct sentence is: The tribunal noted that the driver of the offending truck did not lead any evidence in rebuttal of claims.
