Use of behalf blames the entire staff of railway whereas the use of part blames only a part of the staff of the railway.

Why isn't it 'a lot of travel delays are caused'? 'a lot' is plural, right?

Also, it is OK to say 'from the part of'?

By my point of view, A is correct answer because in a sentence is used as well as past tense used. How this possible?

Tayek Tali said:   5 years ago
On the part is also correct but in my opinion, on the account or because of will be more suitable than on the part.

"On behalf of" refers to persons and "on part of" refers to something else other than persons.

I think option A is also incorrect. I don't think due to and is caused can be used at a time. Quite same meaning.

Before you answer, you just read the sentences 2 to 3 times, then you can easily identify the wrong one.

'On behalf' it means that someone does it for someone else.

'on part of' means that 'by' or 'from'.

I think behalf of the means, one of the partner of the railways department, so we use on part of.

On behalf of the railways, this best ticket cashback is offered.

I think on behalf of is right.
