(A) and (C) only
Correct Answer
(B) only
Detailed Explanation
(B) "prefers to exercise" is incorrect because "Majority of people" is a collective noun, and it's treated as singular. However, "prefers" is in the third person singular form, which is incorrect in this context. The verb should agree in number with the subject. Since "Majority of people" is a singular entity, the correct verb form should be the singular "prefer."
So, the corrected sentence would be:
"The majority of people prefer to exercise early in the morning for a better start of the day."
