3) Answer: B
The correct answer is option (b).
Replace `Are’ with `is’ to make the sentence grammatically correct. The noun `Trend’ is singular it should be followed by a `singular’ verb. Hence, usage of `are’ is incorrect.

The error lies in part `b’ of the sentence. Usage of `Can & able’ together is wrong.
