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.

As it is a regular scene in Railways.

On the part is also correct but in my opinion, on the account or because of will be more suitable than on the part.

Is caused -> it's a passive form.

It should be option A.

Garvit said:   4 years ago
I should suggest option A as in this spotting errors we have to find grammatical errors not change words inside the text.

So, The Correct answer: A lot of travel delay are caused.
