Correct Answer: is lying in relation to


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

The error lies in the subject-verb agreement and the incorrect use of the preposition. The sentence can be improved by replacing the underlined phrase with " is lying in relation to ".

This option contains the correct auxiliary verb (is) to maintain the subject-verb agreement in the case of either/or and the correct phrase (in relation to) to make the sentence grammatically accurate.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Either Supriya or Nikunj is lying in relation to this situation."
