Correct Answer: Early, during December 2021


Solution : The second option is correct.

The error lies in the use of both early and during to indicate the time frame. It's more concise to use early in December 2021 without the additional during .

Therefore, the correct sentence will be: "Early in December 2021, Lal was appointed as the Secretary to the Lokpal."
