Correct Answer: The meeting was held upon
Solution : The right option is the fourth option .
The grammatical error is in the phrase "meeting was held upon". The correct preposition to indicate the duration for which the meeting was held is for rather than upon.
Upon is a preposition that typically implies a sense of being on or resting on something physical or abstract. However, in this context, "upon" is not the appropriate preposition to denote the duration of time. Instead, for should be used to indicate the period for which the meeting lasted.
So, the grammatically correct sentence is: The meeting was held for an hour due to the non-availability of the committee members.
