Correct Answer: deciding in


Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.

The phrase deciding in is not grammatically correct. The correct phrasing should be deciding on or deciding upon. So, the error lies in the choice of preposition. Deciding on or deciding upon means choosing or making a decision regarding a particular option or course of action.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "I am having trouble deciding on a gift for them."
