Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Explanation: In the original sentence, there is a lack of parallelism in the expression "neither use them for the shows or abandon them."

The first option provides the correct parallel structure and uses the appropriate negation, "neither...nor".
So, the correct sentence would be: "The ban has landed the circus management in a tricky situation as they can neither use them for the shows nor abandon them."
