Correct Answer:
Option C —
that get affected
Logical BreakdownThe Main Action: The sentence starts with "The government granted." The verb "granted" is in the Simple Past Tense, indicating that the financial aid has already been provided.
The Cause: The businesses were affected by a "recent natural disaster." Since the disaster happened before the aid was granted, the state of being affected must also be expressed in the past tense.
The Error: The phrase "get affected" is in the Present Tense. To match the rest of the sentence, it should be changed to the past tense: got affected or were affected.
Corrected Sentence
The government granted financial assistance to small businesses that were affected by the recent natural disaster.
