Spot the error; choose ‘‘No error’’ if none. Sentence: According to one survey only those forests which were not under village management succumbed from fires recently.

Introduction / Context:
The verb ‘‘succumb’’ takes the preposition ‘‘to,’’ not ‘‘from,’’ when expressing yielding or falling victim to something. This collocation is a frequent test point.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Clause: ‘‘forests … succumbed …’’
• Cause: ‘‘fires’’
• Preposition used: ‘‘from’’

Concept / Approach:
Correct collocation: ‘‘succumb to + noun’’ (e.g., ‘‘succumbed to injuries,’’ ‘‘succumbed to temptation’’). ‘‘From’’ would be used after a passive with ‘‘suffered from’’ or a different verb like ‘‘died from.’’

Step-by-Step Solution:
Replace preposition: ‘‘from’’ → ‘‘to’’Maintain tense/aspect: simple past ‘‘succumbed’’ aligns with ‘‘recently.’’Correct version: ‘‘… succumbed to fires recently.’’

Verification / Alternative check:
Try synonymous verbs: ‘‘fell prey to,’’ ‘‘were destroyed by’’—all show that the cause follows ‘‘to/by,’’ not ‘‘from,’’ in this sense.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
A–C are appropriately structured modifiers; the determiners and relative clause are fine. Only D misuses the preposition.

Common Pitfalls:
Confusing ‘‘succumb to’’ with ‘‘suffer from.’’ The latter would be grammatical but changes meaning and structure.

Final Answer:
succumbed from fires recently.
