The sentence has no errors. The first sentence only states that Arun was young when his parents expired, but doesn't suggest that he is still young. He can absolutely take care of his aunt who has no children.

The answer should be C. Because in that they use had, i.e., she had no children.

Arun's parents died - in this sentence how many arun's are their? it is referring to many arun's to many parent's.

The answer should be c because 'she had no child' seems to be correct.

Since the grammatical formation of the sentence is ambiguous, I think Option D should have been the answer. It really makes sense when you combine options A, B and C. It could be that if his parents were around, he wouldn't have taken care of his aunt.
