C should be the right one. We don't assume in the case of statement and conclusion.

@All.

Even I felt option C to be the right answer. Cause the one who's sharing the story definitely finds interest & perhaps believes in such stories.

I think C will be correct.

It should be an option C. D is definitely not a suitable choice. Moreover, the word "perhaps" in option c makes it more suitable.

Option 'C' seems quite right than 'D' because from statement, it is not sure that Mohit is afraid of ghosts but as in 'C', 'perhaps' shows possibility so it is acceptable.

Option 'D' is not quite suitable, in the statement, there is no trace of believing or not of Ghosts, so 'D' is not correct. Option C is suitable because Hitesh is conveying something he has heard/He believes in, which matches with the statement closely.

C is better option than D.

Because D is shows surity which can't be said seeing the question. C has "perhaps" which makes it more suitable.

I think option C correct because how we can conclude that Mohith must be afraid of ghosts.
