Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

The grammatically incorrect sentence is: “She is an European.”

Why?

The article “an” is used before words that begin with a vowel sound, not simply a vowel letter.

European begins with a consonant sound /y/ (“you-ro-pean”).

Therefore, the correct form is: “She is a European.”

All other options are grammatically correct.
