The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Check noun number. "Trouser" in English is always used in the plural form: "trousers." Step 2: Problem. The sentence incorrectly uses "trouser" (singular). Step 3: Rewrite. The correct sentence should be: "He was wearing shabby faded trousers which he explained, were called jeans and cost a fortune." \[ \boxed{\text{Wrong word: trouser}} \]
