Correct answer: B. B

Explanation

By the rule of sequence of tenses, a past-tense reporting verb ('thought') must be followed by a past-tense verb in the subordinate clause. So 'he will be able to do' should be 'he would be able to do', which makes part B the incorrect one.काल-अनुक्रम (sequence of tenses) के नियम से भूतकाल की मुख्य क्रिया ('thought') के बाद आश्रित उपवाक्य में भी भूतकाल की क्रिया आनी चाहिए। अतः 'he will be able to do' का शुद्ध रूप 'he would be able to do' होगा, जिससे भाग B अशुद्ध सिद्ध होता है।
