Correct Answer: a oldest member


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

The error lies in the use of both "a" and "oldest" together. When using a superlative adjective like "oldest", the indefinite article "a" should be replaced with the definite article "the". So, the correct form is "the oldest member".

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Babbal is the oldest member in our Black Ice Club.
