phrase highlighted in bold. Find out the phrase, among the phrases (a, b, c, d) given below each sentence, which should replace the phrase printed in bold to make the sentence grammatically correct.

In the given sentence, 'Most' which is an adverb must be placed before a verb, adjective or adverb to modify it. So, use of word 'allurement', which is a noun, is incorrect in the highlighted part of the sentence. In option a) use of 'allures', which is a plural noun, is grammatically incorrect in the sentence. In option b) use of 'must' is not an appropriate choice. Option c) 'one of the most alluring' is grammatically as well as contextually fit. In option d) use of 'off' makes the sentence meaningless. Therefore, the correct answer is c).
