Dear hemant_rajput,
What is the source of this question? The OA you cited has a diction mistake. The word "due" is an adjective, and must be used to modify a noun. It's not as flexible as the word "because." We can say "P did Q because ....", and the word "because" is understood to modify the verb, the action. We can't use the word "due" this way, and yet, this is precisely what choice (A) does.
