What is the difference b/w CAN NOT and CANNOT?
Dinesh said:

I think (b) is appropriate since 'can not' leaves us a possibility of exception where as 'cannot' does not!

The only context in which can not, two words, occurs is as an emphatic alternative: "You can do it, or you can not do it." In that case, it is clearly two separately spoken words, with the not given special emphasis, and equally clearly it means something very different from cannot, namely "have the option of not (doing something)." The only acceptable form for the unabbreviated negative of can (or, if you prefer, for the expansion of can't) is cannot, one word.

What about option A can anyone tell me if it is correct or wrong ?
Kush said:

No option A is not correct as we cannot convey overself messages use to be convey we use to express our self.

Actualy both are same but cannot is the most common usage and hence cannot is preffered over here.
