Correct Answer: for settling


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

When expressing a purpose or intent in a sentence, the infinitive form of the verb is used always. Thus, for settling should be replaced with, to settle to make the sentence grammatically accurate.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: They are planning to settle in Mumbai with their son.
