Answer: C
The correct option is C.
To determine the grammatically incorrect sentence, let's analyze each option:
- Option A: "He is of Asian origin." — Grammatically correct. The preposition "of" is correctly used to indicate origin.
- Option B: "They belonged to Africa." — Grammatically correct. "Belonged to" is the correct phrasal verb.
- Option C: "She is an European." — Grammatically incorrect. The choice between the indefinite articles "a" and "an" depends on the initial sound of the following word, not its spelling. The word "European" starts with a vowel letter 'E' but is pronounced with a consonant sound /j/ (like "yoo-ruh-pee-uhn"). Therefore, it must be preceded by the article "a". The correct sentence is: "She is a European."
- Option D: "They migrated from India to Australia." — Grammatically correct. The prepositions "from... to..." are used correctly to show movement.
