c. 3
d. 4
e. No correction required
ANSWER: 4
equally between his sons is the mistake
'The property of the grandfather should be divided equally among his sons' is the correct form of the sentence.
The word between is always used if the persons or objects are only two. But in this condition, the number of sons is not specified. Hence, the word 'among' should be used.
