B .  2tick.pngcross.png
C .  3tick.pngcross.png
D .  4tick.pngcross.png
E .  No errortick.pngcross.png
Answer: Option B

 -  ‘by day’ in place of ‘by a day’

This sentence talks about the natural law that governs the sun's shining pattern. The sentence can be broken down into four parts as follows:

Part (1): "The sun shines" - This is a complete and grammatically correct sentence. It is in the present tense and the subject ("the sun") is doing the action ("shines").

Part (2): "by a day always" - This part is incorrect. The article "a" is not needed before "day". Instead, the correct phrasing would be "by day always". This means that the sun always shines during the day.

Part (3): "not by night, because" - This part is correct. It means that the sun does not shine at night, and the reason for this is given in the next part.

Part (4): "it is the law of nature" - This part is also correct. It means that the sun's shining pattern is a natural law, which is why it does not shine at night.

In summary, the sentence should be corrected to read "The sun shines by day always" by removing the article "a" before "day" in part (2). The corrected sentence is grammatically correct and conveys the intended meaning of the sentence.
