"Complain" is followed by "about" when referring to an issue or grievance. Example: *He complained about the noise.*

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The error in the sentence lies in part B. The phrase "complained on" is incorrect. The correct preposition to use with "complained" in this context is "about", not "on". Correct sentence: \[ \text{The visitors complained about the poor accommodation they were given.} \]
