Correct Answer: I didn't bought


Solution : The error lies in the second option .

The base form of the verb should be used after did to correctly convey that the event occurred in the past. Thus, bought should be replaced with buy to make the sentence grammatically accurate.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: I didn't buy the book as I had no money.
